Commuters in Delhi face hardships as auto, taxi unions go on strike
Commuters had a harrowing time as various auto-rickshaw, cab and taxi unions in the capital went on a two-day strike on Monday to demand a CNG subsidy and fare revision in the wake of rising fuel prices.
Passengers complained that they had to wait a long time for Ola and Uber cabs, and added that those were available at inflated rates.

Vinay Prajapati, who arrived in the city on Monday morning with his family and was unaware of the strike, had to call his friend to drop him home.
