Members of the Federation of Road Transport ALL India (Airtwf), supported by the Center of Indian Trade Unions (Cit), took part in the Massive Assembly of AuthorickShaw from the office of City to the collector on Wednesday. They demanded that the state government support drivers of cars who suffered from Stree Shakti because of the free bus scheme.
In an interview with the media, the Secretary General of the Airtwf Prakasam Gantanapalli district, he said: “The state government launched a free bus travel system for women from August 15th. We are not against it, but alternative jobs and 30,000 £ 30,000 should be provided.
“Although they are educational qualifications, more than 10 lakh people, either unemployed or without any income, they took loans from private financiers to buy Authorickshaws and support their families. They must pay monthly installments and at the same time educate their children.
Airtwf leader demanded that the state government made a promise that he provided before the elections and continued the Vahan Mitr system, which launched the previous government. He also tried to reduce import and export obligations together with VAT imposed on diesel and gas, which were increased by central and state governments.
Mr. Srinivasulu asked the coalition government to perform No. 21 in 2019, which was brought by the YSRCP by the government, which collects several types of fees, sanctions and increased premiums, causing car drivers serious problems. He also urged the penalty of interest -free loans up to 4 ₹ Lakh via banks for the purchase of vehicles.
