Tirupati: District Collector PS Pradyumna has directed the officials to provide designated auto stands for women auto-rickshaw drivers in Tirupati. Responding to the request made by women drivers, who got autos with the support of Rashtriya Seva Samithi (RASS), to provide auto stands for them in the city, he asked the officials to provide one stand separately for women at Mahila University and in some more key areas.
