I am shocked to read the news about the decision of MC Chandigarh to allow unlicensed/untrained rickshaw-pullers to ply on roads without any restraint. Does the learned MP Mr Bansal and his supporters realise how they are putting the lives of residents, who would either be using these rickshaws or driving some other vehicles on city roads, to unwarranted danger?
