Sir
I have been travelling from Guindy to Choolaimedu regularly for the past two years by auto. Since last few months, the regular fare I am paying the autos is somewhere between Rs. 130 and Rs. 150. Today (16.07.2012), as I was waiting for an auto at Guindy, an auto fellow came & agreed to drop me @ Choolaimedu for Rs. 140. After going a few metres, the auto fellow suddenly demanded that I should pay Rs. 180 instead of the agreed amount viz. Rs. 140. When I refused, he arrogantly told me to get down from the auto. Since it was very difficult for me to get an auto at that spot & as he had travelled only a few metres, I asked him to drop me back in the same place where we started or at a nearer place where I could get an auto for which he unjustly demanded Rs. 60. I was utterly shocked but I was bold enough to tell him that either he should drop me in the place where we started or drop me at Choolaimedu for which left with no other choice, I agreed to pay him Rs. 150. But he was too arrogant and greedy and demanded Rs. 200. I was very firm in my decision and refused to get down from the auto. Then after about 10 minutes, he started the auto & was abusing me throughout the journey. I felt that these kind of auto fellows should be taught that they cannot take the common man for granted & was firm in my decision & tolerated all his filthy speech. After reaching home, he started abusing me loudly in filthy language before my neighbours. I would have been much happier if for all the agony I went through because of that scoundrel, I had given only Rs. 150 but my dad who heard the noise & came out gave him Rs. 180 in order to avoid any problems and sent him away. Is it never possible to take a stand for justice? Will common people like us have to go through all this agony because of arrogant auto drivers & be tolerant forever? I noted down the following details from the auto. It belongs to K. Umapathy, 12 Guruvapa Street, Chintadripet, Chennai-2. The auto no. is TN01 S 3849. I request that serious action will be taken against such kind of arrogant & cruel auto drivers to ensure the safety of all esp. women.
Thanks & Regards
