Wonder Pill: Indefinite Taxi and Autorickshaw Strike
Indefinite Taxi and Autorickshaw strike was declared in Kerala from 21st December, 2009. The strike was called off from 24th.
Strike objectives were fare revision, to entrust the Regional Transport Office with the authority to issue taxi permits currently being issued by State Transport Authority, to do away with the levy of user fees at the Regional Transport Office and finally to slash the entry tax charged for vehicles with inter-State permits.
Strike was called off after government promised various committees to look in to these issues. Public had to undergo three days of hardships for few committees to be formed. A subsequent meeting is to happen after 30 days when the committee submits their reports. It is a known fact that nothing conclusive would happen in that meeting as some of the objectives needs decisions from central government and other state governments. So why don't our brothers continue their strike?
