Commuters may face difficulty today in Delhi as a number of auto-rickshaw and taxi operators' unions will go on a strike demanding a hike in fares. The unions have not heeded to an assurance by the Delhi government on Monday that a decision on the issue will be taken within 15 days.

The auto-rickshaw unions have also been protesting the government's directive to install Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in their vehicles due to "high cost" of the equipment.In view of the strike, the Delhi government asked the Delhi Transport Corporation to deploy as many buses as possible on the road on Tuesday.
