CITU city president RKSV Kumar said the transport officials were seizing the autos, if there were more than six passengers in an auto. Union leaders D. Appalaraju, K. Satyanarayana, A. Simhachalam, K. Kumari, Ali and Govind were among those who participated in the rasta roko. The move would further hit the livelihood of auto drivers, who were already being overburdened by mounting debts as they were purchasing the vehicles after taking loans from private financiers. Mr. Kumar said it would be difficult to run a family, if a person earned less than ?18,000 a month. He said a massive rally would be organised from the Visakhapatnam Railway Station to RTC Complex on July 26.
