Mantralaya Times bureau. Mumbai’s biggest auto rickshaw union will go on a one day strike to protest against the plying of cabs associated with app-based aggregators like Ola and Uber on Wednesday, August 31.Shashank Rao, leader of Mumbai Autorickshawmen’s union, had called for the strike during the first week of August. Drivers associated with the union are expected to participate in a huge morcha at Azad Maidan. No autos affiliated with the union will ply in the eastern and western suburbs of the city tomorrow.Since earlier protests at Azad Maidan had badly affected the movement of traffic around the CST area, there is likelihood that the same situation may arise again onWednesday. In addition, commuters may also be inconvenienced by the less number of rickshaws plying on the road.Rao called for the strike to oppose the illegal transportation of commuters in private vehicles operated by drivers without badges and to demand a complete ban on aggregators like Ola and Uber. In addition, the union has also demanded the government to put an end to the ‘surge pricing’ policy adopted by the companies which allows them to charge more during peak hours.On August 29, two taxi and auto unions, namely Jai Bhagavan Mahasangh and Swabhiman Taxi and Rickshaw Sanghatana, had called for an indefinite strike following the state government’s failure to regulate app-based taxi aggregators.
