There are some videos now being shared on social media sites where Three Wheeler hooligans harass and man handle some other legitimate taxi service providers.
One such guy who had been harassed and possibly even attacked have now gone to the area reserved for those who want to express their grievances peacefully and staging a one man protest to get the authorities attention to a very common problem faced by many.
The Three Wheeler Mafia is a menace to the society and it should be eradicated soon.
But the question is will the authorities do anything to correct the situation.
The plain answer is No.
They will not.
The reason is that that is their bedrock of voters.
Not only those who are riding on them but many others who have the same mentality of Three Wheel riders supporting politicians.
Therefore in the very likelihood that they will not be disciplined.
In a such a scenario what the general public who are concerned about the deteriorating law and order situation in the country can do now?
- Use public transport as much as possible,
- If in a rare occasion, one has to ride on it, avoid riding on ones that are without proper Meter,
- Report if any abuse.
But if we let it go as it is, the situation is going to deteriorate more and then we have to obey their rules than anything else.
If the boycott or effective selection process is being adopted by many, soon they will start getting the pressure on them too.
When Debt Collectors started calling on them only they will realize.
Then they will have two choices.
Either adopt according to the Market requirements or perish.
As the general public we should be more active too.
A few things that we can do now to change the Mafia grip.
- Use business apps for all our rides,
- Chose Metered Taxis over unmetered ones,
- Demand to have Owner & the driver’s details as well as the current registration is clearly displayed in the passenger cabin, in case if a need arise to report some issue.
Do not be afraid of demanding your rights always.
