Coal town residents face problems as auto strike enters second day
Dhanbad district administration doing nothing to end deadlock, allege operators
Dhanbad passengers continued to face troubles on roads for the second consecutive day on Wednesday, as a strike launched by auto-rickshaw operators remained in force.
Demanding a host of needs, including raising the minimum fare from Rs 5 to Rs 10, the unions had called for an indefinite strike on Tuesday.
Talking to The Telegraph Online, PK Chaudhary, a resident of Tapowan Colony in Dhanbad and a medical distributor, said that his workplace is 40 kilometers away from his residence. “I travel by bus from Govindpur to Topchanchi everyday. But due to the strike, it is difficult for me to travel to Govindpur, which is five kilometres away from my residence.”
