Auto‑rickshaw and car‑taxi unions in Indore will stage a protest at the Palasia police headquarters on Oct 1, demanding action against unverified illegal bike‑taxi operators.
Indore’s auto‑rickshaw and car‑taxi unions announced a coordinated protest for October 1 at the Palasia police headquarters. The demonstration will be led by representatives of the Auto Federation, who plan to submit a memorandum outlining their grievances.
The core issue is the surge of illegal bike‑taxi services that operate without the mandatory verification and licensing. Drivers allege that these unregulated vehicles undercut legitimate fares and compromise passenger safety. The unions are calling for immediate issuance of penal notices against such operators.
Police officials have been informed of the protest and are expected to engage with the unions to address the demand. Authorities may also consider stricter monitoring of bike‑taxi registrations to curb the illegal activity, which has become a growing concern for commuters in the city.
