KATRA, Mar 24: A delegation of  Duggar Kranti Sena along with the various auto rickshaw drivers operating in Katra, called on SDM Katra to apprise her of the problems faced by auto rickshaw drivers.
They said that the hoteliers in Katra have engaged private vehicles for transporting pilgrims from their hotels to Ban Ganga and vice versa and due to the said conduct of the hoteliers auto rickshaw drivers were finding it difficult to earn so as to make their both ends meet.
Advocate Vilakshan Singh, Chairman DKS, apprised the SDM that vehicles being plied by hoteliers are without any permit and without any legal sanction. He said the auto rickshaw drivers have invested huge amounts, much beyond their capability to purchase auto rickshaw and obtain permits but due to the illegal plying of vehicles by the hoteliers, they were not finding passengers.
The SDM assured that stern action under law shall be taken against the vehicles illegally plying in Katra in accordance with law.
The delegation comprised of Pushvinder Singh Manhas, Atul Sudan, Namit Sharma and others.
