Thane: The Government Railway Police has arrested a 26-year-old autorickshaw driver from Airoli in Navi Mumbai and detained a minor boy for allegedly killing a 23-year-old man whose body was found on tracks between Vashi and Sanpada railway stations recently, an official said on Wednesday.
The investigation revealed that the deceased had stabbed and injured the autorickshaw driver and harassed the sister of the minor a year ago, due to which they bore a grudge against him.

Autorickshaw drivers to go on strike in Bengaluru tomorrow against ‘illegal’ bike taxis

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: Autorickshaw drivers in Bengaluru will go on a strike on Monday in protest against private bike taxi aggregators functioning in the city.
According to Adarsh Auto and Taxi Drivers’ Union president M Manjunath, over two lakh autorickshaws will remain off roads starting from Sunday midnight to Monday midnight. The union has one of the largest membership of autorickshaw drivers in Karnataka’s state capital.
The autorickshaw drivers will also take out a march from Bengaluru City Railway Station to the Chief Minister’s House.
“We will observe a 24-hour strike starting from Sunday midnight. Our agitation is against the illegal operation of bike taxis operating in the city,” Manjunath told PTI.
He claimed the state transport department viewed bike taxis as illegal but yet the drivers are operating on the city roads with impunity.
Manjunath also said 21 autorickshaw drivers’ associations have come together against the bike taxis.
Recently, a video had gone viral of an autorickshaw driver smashing a bike taxi driver’s mobile phone at a major intersection in the city over the alleged illegal use of such services.
Autorickshaw drivers and bike taxis have been competing for space on Bengaluru’s roads to gain customers.

Video: ‘This is Karnataka, why should I speak in Hindi?’, autorickshaw driver gets irritated

[ad_1]
A video has emerged from Bengaluru where an irritated autorickshaw driver is seen arguing with women passengers who reportedly asked him to speak in Hindi.
The video has since gone viral with around 38,000 views on Twitter. Many have lauded the autorickshaw driver for not bowing to his passengers’ demands.
However, it is still not clear what led to the argument. The video starts with the autorickshaw telling the ladies, “This is Karnataka and you have to speak in Kannada. You people are north Indian beggars, why have you come to Karnataka?”
As he speaks, one of the passengers says, “No, we will not speak Kannada, why should we speak in Kannada?”
The autorickshaw driver is irritated and stops his vehicle yelling, “This is our land, not your land. Why should I speak in Hindi?”
Realizing it could lead to a tense situation, the woman passengers get down and say “Okay” to calm the situation.
Recently, pan India actor Prakash Raj, who originally hails from Karnataka, wore a T-shirt that read, “Nange Hindi Baralla, Hogappa” which translates to “I don’t know Hindi, Go!”
The actor received a lot of flake from netizens who termed it as an “insult” to Hindi. A Supreme Court lawyer shared the actor’s photo in the T-shirt and tagged Tamil Nadu police demanding an FIR.

The actor took to Twitter saying, “My roots..my mother tongue is KANNADA .. if you DISRESPECT her and try to FORCE your language.. we will PROTEST like this. R u threatening #justasking”
ನನ್ನ ಬೇರು.. ನನ್ನ ಮೂಲ ನನ್ನ ಕನ್ನಡ.. ನನ್ನ ತಾಯನ್ನು ಗೌರವಿಸದೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಹಿಂದಿಯನ್ನು ಹೇರಿದರೆ ನಾವು ಹೀಗೇ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ .. ಹೆದರೊಲ್ಲ..ಅಷ್ಟೇ..My roots..my mother tongue is KANNADA .. if you DISRESPECT her and try to FORCE your language.. we will PROTEST like this. R u threatening #justasking pic.twitter.com/JaRLOhGKTT

He added, “I speak 7 languages.To learn n speak a language is RESPECTING its people . I have learned every language of the people I work with. I don’t force my language. But if you disrespect mine and force your language I will stand up and protest #stopHindiImposition #justasking”

Winds of Change: Female auto-rickshaw driver from Jammu transcends gender-centric barriers to earn respectful livelihood

[ad_1]
Suhail Khan
Jammu, Mar 7 (GNS): Gender gaps and barriers are fast vanishing for the women in Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, as the fairer gender can now access resources and decision-making opportunities more easily – with Jammu’s Ranjeet Kour being one such glaring example.
Ranjeet Kour, a resident of Kunjwani in the Jammu district, believed to be the woman auto-rickshaw driver in her area, is now an inspiration for many and seen as a respectable figure wherever she goes.
Talking exclusively with GNS, Kour said when nothing seemed to be helping her family, she one day decided to work shoulder to shoulder with her husband, as an auto-rickshaw driver. She said though it was difficult to convince him (husband) at the initial stage, but once he agreed, I without wasting time joined the Umeed group, from where I got financial help for e-rickshaw.
Kour said there is no shame in choosing any work. “When I am satisfied with this work and am able to help my family in a very good way, then why should I care about the taunts or criticism by people? “I believe no work is less than your God; once you treat it as worship, then believe me, there is always a fruitful result.”
She said I am now getting praises across the board wherever I go even by those who once used to criticize me. “Passengers are even more impressed with my courage now.”
“We all have our dreams and if we are passionate about them, we will definitely achieve success”, Kour says adding “However, along with all our hard work, a little help from others can just be the thing which one needs to fulfill his/her dreams and I am very thankful to the Umeed scheme because of which I am able to see happiness in my home.”
Ranjeet Kour stated that I earn between Rs. 1500 and 2000 on a day-to-day basis besides that I am now getting special bookings in the area.

“I would like to ask the women to come out of their homes and work to empower themselves for there is absolutely nothing that women cannot achieve”, Kour further said. (GNS)

Uber auto-rickshaw driver arrested for sexually harassing Delhi journalist

[ad_1]
New Delhi: An Uber auto-rickshaw driver has been arrested for sexually harassing a journalist during a ride from her residence to her friend’s place in south Delhi, police said on Friday.
The accused was identified as Vinod Kumar Yadav, 24, a resident of Noida’s Sector 123 and native of Bihar’s Madhubani.
The incident occurred on Wednesday and the journalist also shared the video of the incident on social media.
According to police, on March 2, at about 11.00 pm,, the journalist, a resident of Bharat Nagar, approached New Friends Colony police station and filed a complaint against a TSR (auto-rickshaw) driver.
“She levelled allegations of indecent behaviour as well as lascivious staring by him, while she was travelling from New Friends Colony to Malviya Nagar on March 1 about 4.40 p.m.. Accordingly, a case under relevant sections of IPC was registered and investigation taken up,” said a senior police official.
“The ownership of the auto-rickshaw was procured which was found in the name of Mohd Yunus Khan, a resident of Nehru Camp, Govindpuri. Yunus was questioned and it came to light that the TSR was already purchased by Vinod,” said the official.
“Meanwhile technical surveillance was also applied and Vinod was detained and interrogated and he was confirmed to be the alleged and hence arrested. All legal formalities including statement under section 164 Code of Criminal Procedure was completed,” said the official, adding that further investigation is in progress.
Earlier, Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Chairperson Swati Maliwal has also issued notice to Uber India and Delhi Police over the incident.

“Notice has been issued to Uber India and Delhi Police over the unfortunate incident of molestation of a female journalist in an Uber Auto in Delhi,” Maliwal tweeted.
Narrating her ordeal on Twitter, the woman journalist said that when she boarded an auto-rickshaw from her residence in New Friends Colony to Malviya Nagar to visit her friend, the driver, identified as Vinod Kumar, started staring at her inappropriately through the side mirrors of the auto, “precisely at her breasts”.
“I took an auto from my home to a friend’s place. After a while, I noticed that the driver was looking at me through the side mirrors of the auto, precisely at my breasts. I shifted a bit towards the right and wasn’t visible in the left side mirror,” she said.
“He then started looking into the right side of the mirror. I then shifted to the extreme left and wasn’t visible in any of the mirrors. He then started looking back again and again to see me. I first tried using the safety feature of @uber, but to no avail”.
“The first time I dialled the number, the audio wasn’t clear. I then confronted him and said that I would raise a complaint. I even asked him to focus on driving. To this, he said, “kardo” (do it) and I then redialed the number but couldn’t hear the audio due to poor network”.
