KARACHI: Pakistan People's Party will support transporters of CNG driven public vehicles in acceptance of their just demands, said General Secretary of Pakistan People's Party (PPP - Sindh), Senator Taj Haider on Thursday.
In a meeting with delegation of All Karachi CNG Auto Rickshaw Owners Welfare Association, he said PPP can not leave the labourers and daily wagers alone in fight for their just rights.
This, he said is all the more important as these rickshaws are also a source of livelihood for approximately 35,000 people in Karachi only, said Taj.
PPP fully endorse the just demands of the owners and drivers of the CNG run auto rickshaws that are not only environment friendly but also a cheap source of public transport, he reiterated.
General Secretary of the association, Adnan Shah, informed the PPP leader that while Sindh High Court has imposed ban on Qingqi (the motorcycle driven rickshaws), yet the traffic police were prohibiting CNG rickshaws to ply their vehicles on city roads.
Heavy fine is being imposed and often CNG rickshaws are taken in custody in absolute violation of the law.
