Karachi:
Privating livelihoods will push them to the crime, said all the president of the Rickshaw Welfare Association of Pakistan, Haji Iftikhar.
The prohibition of multiple rickshaws on 20 roads in the city is similar to push thousands of people hunger, said Iftikhar heading to a press conference flanked by the secretary general of the Haji Aamir association in Karachi Press Club on Monday.
The president and the Secretary General of the Association demanded that the notification that prohibits the Ricks Qingqi on 20 Karachi roads must be withdrawn. Otherwise, they said that the sitting protests will be carried out throughout the city.
They said that the Transit Police are issuing fines even on the roads where the prohibition is not applied. They also mentioned that the notification issued by Commissioner Karachi imposes the prohibition has been challenged in the Court.
The city administration is pressing the workers and owners Qingqi Rickshaw towards agitation, they said, and asked them, will they take an obstacle and an obstacle throughout the city to make the government listen to our opinions against the prohibition of the Rickshaws Qingqi?
Iphtikhar and Aamir said that Commissioner Karachi has imposed the prohibition of the Ricks Qingqi on 20 roads in the city. The prohibition has further increased difficulties for Qingqi Rickshaw drivers in the midst of growing inflation.
They said that the protests have also been held before, but no one paid attention to their complaints or contacted them. They also mentioned that they had written multiple letters to the commissioner and relevant departments regarding the subject, but did not receive an answer.
They said that the situation has become so serious that the Qingqi Rickshaw drivers now face the starvation at home. The drivers are being subjected to abuse by the Traffic Police, issuing fines even on roads where the prohibition is not in force, which causes severe anguish among drivers. The association has challenged the notification of Commissioner Karachi, and the Judicial Hearing is still pending.
