Belgaum Auto Drivers say still minimum fare is not fixed

Even when only on paper the auto fare by meters has been implemented from August 1, 2013 in reality nothing is in place. Not even a single auto is charging fares by meters. 

Hear to this conversation between an Auto driver and Mr.Basavraj Javali who asks for Rs.30 from Chennamma circle to Jyoti College. Further Auto driver says Fares are not yet fixed by authorities. They (autos)had demanded minimum 25 but they have not yet told us.
This is how the citizens are being looted and the enforcement authorities just give a helpline number and keep mum instead of acting on the auto drivers.
A citizen said how is that on August 1 early morning the RTO and Police both started to check the meters and started to impose fines. That was done for one day only nothing after that Why? 
Hear to this audio recorded where the Auto driver speaks.

Auto drivers continue their arrogance

The Belgaum auto drivers are now thinking as if they are the kings of the road and there is no one to monitor them.

Read the experience Rahul Walvekar shared on the Belgaum mein ka auto meter dow karo group.

“Between 6.15 pm to 7.30 pm this happened.
Had to go from Maruti Galli to Railway Station. Stopped an auto in Maruti Galli and asked how much fare to Railway Station, he said 40 I asked for 30 he said no. So I left him and stopped another auto and he said he will come for 30. So we took the auto.
While coming back from Railway Station to Maruti Galli auto fellow said 50 first the 40 later, when I sad Rs. 30 he did not agree. Then he said go to prepaid booth and get token, there all lights on in the booth but no person inside. Again asked why no meter he said meter is there but Minimum is 35. I told him that is not the min fixed by RTO. He said this is the new rate. I told I can complain to DC .
He said “COMPLAINT KARNA HAI TO KARO, DC KO KOI KAM DHANDA NAI HAI, IS LEYE YE KAR RAHA HAI” Later he and others gathered there argued more. So I left him and went outside railway station.
There to some said 50, 40. At last got one for 30 and came back home.”

These folks are now challenging the DC in the open and what is being done to implement this.

Where are we heading ?
