Taxi and autorickshaw unions began a two-day strike in Delhi-NCR Monday, demanding subsidy on CNG prices. Due to the ‘Chakka jam’, cab aggregators and some autos hiked prices this morning, leaving commuters and office-goers in a fix. Last mile connectivity vehicles like Grahmin Seva are also participating in the agitation.
Cab and autorickshaw unions have held several protests against rising fuel prices over the last several days.
On Monday, cab aggregators increased fares by 60-80 per cent. For instance, an auto from Laxmibai Nagar, INA to Udhyog Bhawan, which is around Rs 60-75, was hiked to around Rs 100. A similar distance by cab, which is usually Rs 100 -110, increased to Rs 150.
