A section of auto drivers have threatened to carry out a protest rally from Rajghat to Delhi Secretariat tomorrow demanding issuance of around 13,000 auto permits.
Delhi Autorickshaw Sangh general secretary Rajendra Soni today said that the union has decided to carry out the protest rally against the AAP government.
"Hundreds of auto drivers will particpate in the rally with their vehicles tomorrow which will begin from Rajghat and conclude at Delhi Secretariat.
"We demand that government issue around 13,000 auto permits immediately and order CBI or Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) inquiry into alleged irregularities in distribution of Letters of Intent for new autorickshaws," Soni said.
Last month, the government had suspended three senior officials of transport department for alleged irregularities in distribution of Letters of Intent for new autorickshaws.
