Pune: Maharashtra
Citizens asked authorities to back
out and accept all the demands of auto drivers
Autorickshaw union in Pune threatened
that it will start following the signals, if city authorities fail to provide
adequate supply of CNG in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad by August 15. Union's move was
shock to an ordinary citizen of Pune, which is not popular for obeying the
traffic related laws and wasting time on the roads.
"This
kind of move will only hit the deaf ears of the authorities," said
Convenor of Rickshaw Panchayat, Nitin Pawar. He was talking about a serious
traffic issues that would attract by protesting this way.
According
to research organization A C Nielsen, red signal in Pune city road means vehicle
to continue and don’t stop while green and yellow signals also says the same.
If auto drivers stop at every red signal, it would seriously create problems of
accidents, time wastages, fuel wastage and space wastage, said AC Nielsen.
The
surveyor told in its report “They want to maintain their uniqueness.”
City man
Rajesh Padhye said "WTF, how can they do such stupid thing? It is harassment
to the ordinary citizens. Who likes to watch at the signal corners, whether it
is green or red. Fuck off, I recommend Pune Municipal Corporation to agree
their demands and keep Pune's traffic going."
