Hyderabad: Even as lockdown restrictions eased and the government allowed for the running of public transport, people still prefer private hiring including cabs and autos, for safe travel. But, the autowalas are exploiting the situation to charge exorbitant fares with no meter.
Approximately over one lakh autos run in Hyderabad. The rules state that the auto riders must charge hiring fare as per the meter, but the auto drivers barely adhere to that rule anywhere in the city.
Elderly couple Mr. and Mrs. Yadav Singh, who always fail to bargain with the drivers, end up paying those hefty fares. “When we try to bargain, they are just outrightly rude. It’s either settling with those high fares or choosing to go out walking,” they said.
SRINAGAR: The field executives of the Legal Metrology Department (LMD) on Saturday booked 68 erring traders and recovered a penal sum of Rs. 70600 from them for violating various Legal Metrology Laws. The violators were fined and booked during 1521 market inspections to detect the violations.
