Summary:
Therefore, we decided to give relaxation for pink autos. The decision to allow pink autos was taken by city police commissioner Satish Sharma following demand by businessmen from the area.Currently, 32 pink autos are operational while 20 others are expected to hit the roads according to the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) officers. This will help women who come to the market area for shopping during the festive season,” said Sharma.“I had proposed to police to make some relaxation in the ban and suggested that pink autos are given exception. Senior police officials observed that due to errant autos drivers, massive traffic jams were created in one of the oldest market in city. These autos can now move freely on Raj Marg throughout the day, especially when women in large number throng Bhagal, Chauta Bazaar and Chowk market area for shopping.The ban on rickshaws came into force due to extremely chaotic situation of the road which connects important city areas and remains crowded throughout the day..
