Mumbaikars can relate to this ordeal as they passed through trauma today ! Prior, these three wheeler bandits had hijacked the city on 19th Sept and then went on till 21st Sept.
Reason : Rickshaws go on flash strike protesting RTO crackdown
Not a unknown news, as everyone laughed at it but even raised eyebrows as Autowala's did a arm twist to law & order.
In a city like Mumbai, where it's on the brink of exploding 'coz of Human population bomb, a day strike break spine of this economic hub. The working class is highly dependent on these cockroaches who rule the roads as a common man hop-skip-jump to reach destination... on time.
Infrastructure, Law & Order, Government, etc all that you may blame but its “we” who fall prey to demands of these terrorism. Yes terrorism as you may call, as we watch it helplessly with "What else can you do ?" attitude. Because its Mumbai. A highly demanding city and you may lose the race if you won't keep the pace.
Today, the rickshaw union had audacity to drop the anchor to demand hike in fare !! Isn't it enough that Mumbaikar's now lose their patience. There is anger, frustration, agony and a helpless looking common man.
Campaign's like Meter Jam made to huge success with strong participation from traffic police and various activities groups. Its time we wake up again against this loot before these bandits and our so called "Janata ke Sevak" write our fate !
Its your Agni-par-Rickshaw !
