Give respect and Help the Old age people And maintain the Auto Meters correctly
Petitioning: Auto Drivers and their managements in INDIA
Petitioner: Anantharam started on June 4, 2009
First of all let me inform that I am raising this Petition by taking Karnataka as example. It is not like pointing to any particular state / state Govt.
As in karnataka mainly Blore I see many Auto drivers are charging the people like anything. Though they are having meters, they are not using that. If they start meters also, they run like anything which jumps from 25Rs to 45Rs within the 0.1 KM OR it shows 3 KM instead of 2KM. So people feel like going without meters and they pay whatever amount Auto drivers ask.
First of all please check & change the faulty Auto Meters.
Here I want to stress one more important thing and I feel that is more important than the Auto Meters changing. Because it is related to Old aged People.
I see many cases where the auto drivers disagree to come to nearby places as they earn very little and also disagree to very far places as they may not get proper return passengers. If they agree also they wont put meters and we have to accept & give the amount what they ask.
My sincere request is that atleast this should not be done for OLD AGED PEOPLE as they may not be able to walk even to the next street and want help by taking an Auto. And if Auto persons dont agree for that or charge more than what we expect, the situation for those OLD AGED (POOR) PEOPLE will be miserable. I personally came across the cases where
1. Poor people are in some urgency and cant wait for Buses and cant get a proper Auto for them.
2. Old Aged People cant wait or cant go in fully loaded buses and also unable to get a proper Auto facility to go to nearby places.
Please consider the above situations if it happens for one among them who doesnt have enough money & time.
Even Many people are suffering with these Money Minded Auto drivers (NOT ALL OF THEM) but public is helpless.
** Before that I must be thankful to Karnataka Govt for providing so many local buses for public
But apart from that if Govt takes action on this Auto Drivers and Management also that would be a great thing.
This is my humble request to consider this as a serious issue and take necessary action on this as soon as possible.
