Autorickshaws gone off Roads on 15th June

NAGPUR: Commuters will be in for grave inconvenience as over 15,000 three-wheeler auto rickshaws in the city will go off the roads on Tuesday to protest government’s policy to bar autorickshaws from transporting school students. The bandh call has been given by various auto federations in Vidarbha.
