Ibrahim also the President of RTA and representatives of autorickshaw drivers unions, at the Circuit House on February 1, Sunday is learnt to have asked the DC to revise the autorickshaw fares once again.


RamanathaRai-d... But sources say the DC is firm on his earlier decision to reduce the minimum fares from the existing Rs 25 to Rs 20 and has also asked the autorickshaw drivers to prove why they cannot run autos profitably at a minimum fare of Rs 20.

Meanwhile, the DC said the fares have been revised keeping the interest of both passengers and drivers in mind and even pointed out that the fare in DK district was high when compared to fares even in Mumbai, Kasargod and other places.
