Auto wallahs pester commuters a lot

Yousufguda: Auto-rickshaws are seen more than any other vehicles at Yousufguda Check Post. Spreading towards the bus stop, sometimes autos are seen in larger count than the commuters in the bus-stop. Observing the situation, a traffic police was deployed to take control of the situation.

"It's very important to understand the importance of bus-stand; Bus-stand is built for the commuters to wait for the buses, but, the auto-rickshaws are turning the area into an auto stand by parking it for long time causing difficulty to the commuters. Autos never move ahead and parking until I request; some times, I have to warn them not to park in the bus-stop," says traffic police at Yousufguda checkpost.

"I have my own bus pass. I want to travel in buses and not at all interested in taking auto ride. But, this auto-rickshaw nuisance has become a headache. Though we ignore they, they park in front and offer ride several times.

Sometimes autos come in the way of our movement when we are in a hurry to catch buses. It has become a very irritating moment of the day to stand at bus-stand because of these auto wallas," said Sri Latha, a Police Line resident who has to use the bus-stop everyday.
