Commercial vehicle drivers in Delhi have announced a three-day strike from May 21 to May 23, raising concerns over major disruption in daily transport services across the capital. Taxi, auto-rickshaw and commercial vehicle unions have demanded an immediate revision in fares, claiming that rates in the Delhi-NCR region have remained unchanged for 15 years despite a sharp rise in fuel prices including CNG, petrol and diesel. The unions argue that increasing operational costs have made it difficult for drivers to sustain their livelihood under the current fare structure. They are demanding an urgent fare hike in line with rising expenses and have warned of a larger agitation if their demands are not addressed. Meanwhile, political reactions are pouring in over the strike and the issue of fare hikes.
