New Delhi, India (June 16, 2014): Seeking relaxation for E-rikshaws in New Delhi, which are facing ban orders, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal met Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, where the latter assured to look into the matter.
“The Supreme Court asked to form a policy on the rickshaws, but a notification was passed on April 24 over imposing a ban on them due to their illegality. Later, the government started challenging the rickshaw owners for 4800 rupees,” said Kejriwal.
“The LG heard us very nicely. He said he will look into the matter. I hope that impounding won’t happen. I want Nitin Gadkari to withdraw April 24 notification. Everyone should support them. If there is any consensus, then the impounding should stop,” he added.
Earlier today, E rickshaw owners took to streets in New Delhi protesting against the ban.
