Registering complaint agaianst pune autorickshaw drivers?

can somebody tell me the procedure to register compalint against pune autorickshaw drivers. Any website address or helpline no. will be appreciated. thanks

Sorry dude. You are pretty much out of luck from all I know. Most of the auto rickshaws are independantly owned and the owner obviously didi not agree with you over whatever you were disputing. I spent a summer near there and had no real problems once the driver realized that we did know where we were going and he could not take the longer routes in order to increase his fair.

Here is an article I found that might be related to your issue ( from the times of India paper)

Pune rickshawmen flout tariff card rule
3 Jul 2003, 0133 hrs IST,Rahul Chandawarkar,TNN

PUNE: Like their counterparts in the suburbs, many autorickshaw drivers in the city have stopped carrying and displaying the mandatory tariff card.

For a few months after the tariffs were revised in November 2002, auto rickshaw drivers actually displayed cards on the rear side of the driver鈥檚 seat. Not any more.

L.P. Khade, regional transport officer (RTO), Pune region, told TNN, 鈥淚t is mandatory for every autorickshaw driver to carry a tariff card. If he is found without a card, he is liable to be fined for Rs 100 by an RTO inspector or a police sub-inspector.鈥?When asked about rickshaw drivers in the suburbs (Pimpri-Chinchwad areas) regularly flouting the pay-bymeter rule, Khade said, 鈥淭he issue is being examined.鈥?

鈥淭he problem is compounded by the fact, that the drivers in Pimpri-Chinchwad, offer a 鈥榮hare-an-auto鈥?service to their passengers. This is not legal and we are examining the issue,鈥?he said.

According to Khade, it was not the RTO鈥檚 responsibility to print the tariff card (see latest card printed below). 鈥淎fter the rate revision in November 2002,we published the tariff card in newspapers.The onus is on the autorickshaw drivers to procure them,鈥?Khade said.

When contacted, deputy commissioner of police (traffic), Anant Shinde, said that he would find out why the city autorickshaw drivers had stopped carrying tariff cards.

Baba Adhav, president, Rickshaw Panchayat, the largest autorickshaw union in the city, denied that members of his union were not displaying tariff cards. Some of them cannot display the cards because the copies have worn out, he said.

However, Inspector Prakash Deshmukh pointed out, 鈥淭he cards are now available in the market for Rs 2. Auto drivers, therefore, have no excuse for not carrying them.鈥?/div>
