Hyderabad Auto Drivers Protest New Auto Registration Rule
Auto drivers in Hyderabad are upset about a new government rule (GO 263).
They gathered to protest, but didn't bring their autos to avoid traffic jams.
The drivers don't like the rule that allows more autos on the road.
They met with a transport official and said they want only electric autos, which don't pollute the air.
The official promised to tell the higher-ups about their concerns.
The drivers are worried that too many new autos will make it harder for them to earn money.
They want the government to think about a cleaner environment.
Auto drivers protested against GO No. 263 in Hyderabad.
The protest occurred in front of the RTO at Khairatabad.
Protesters opposed the registration of 65,000 new auto-rickshaws.
Union leaders want only electric autos registered to promote a pollution-free city.
The Joint Transport Commissioner assured the appeal would be forwarded.
