From May 21 to 23, taxi and auto drivers in Delhi will participate in a strike organized by the Chaalak Shakti Union, protesting against the rising fuel prices and demanding an increase in fares. The union highlighted that fuel prices for petrol and diesel have recently risen by an average of 90 paise per litre, with petrol now costing ₹98.64 and diesel ₹91.58 per litre in Delhi. Despite these increases, taxi fares have remained unchanged for nearly 15 years, severely impacting drivers' livelihoods. The union expressed that app-based cab aggregators like Ola and Uber are exploiting drivers, further exacerbating their financial struggles. They have called for a government meeting to discuss these pressing issues and formulate policies to protect drivers from exploitation. Additionally, the All India Motor Transport Congress has threatened to escalate the protests if the government does not respond within two weeks, emphasizing that the government will be held responsible for any resulting unrest. A protest at the Delhi Secretariat is also planned for May 23, coinciding with the strike.
