Taxi unions across Maharashtra have announced an indefinite hunger strike from April 20 against app-based services like Ola, Uber, and Rapido after failing to secure protest permissions. Demonstrations will be held simultaneously in Mumbai, Nagpur, and Pune. The protest targets alleged violations of government rules by aggregator platforms, with unions intensifying their agitation. The coordinated strike across key cities signals growing unrest among drivers, raising concerns of possible disruption to transport services if demands remain unresolved. By🖋️: Rajendra B. Aklekar

Driving my car in Mumbai at a normal economy speed of 40 kmph when a speeding auto started roaming around me, pressing hard brakes, driving bumper to bumper and side by side with almost no distance. After some time, a signal came at Mira Road. I stopped. Signal turned green, and suddenly that auto made a hard cut and touched my car bumper. Scratch on my car. I stopped on the side. He came out and started demanding money, saying his auto got damaged because of my fault. I said no. He didn’t listen. I said let’s call the police. He said if I call the police, he will break my car glass and then we will go to the police station. Some people came to support me saying let’s go to the police, we will support you. But many auto drivers gathered in support of that guy. Their group tried to damage my car. Big rage situation. I realized there is no benefit fighting a crowd like this. I asked how much. He said 1000. I said 200. He agreed. I said I don’t have cash, give QR. I paid online. Now I have his name and phone number. This is what is happening on roads.
