For the second day today, more than 50, 000 autos and taxis remained off the road to protest against the Delhi government’s decision to install tamper-proof electronic meters to prevent fleecing of passengers. The situation at the exit and entry points in the Capital was slightly better today as the Delhi Tourism and Transportation Corporation (DTTC) pressed additional buses into service. However, it was still chaotic at the airport, the railway stations and the bus terminuses as passengers, specially those with luggage, had to wait for long periods before they could find alternative transportation to take them to their destinations.
Meanwhile, the confusion over the duration of the strike persisted with several unions claiming that it was only for two days while the others maintained that it was indefinite. There were notes of dissent among the operators also as many claimed that they were losing out on income.
