Amid the ongoing fuel price hike, the taxi-rickshaw and drivers association warned about the possibility of going on strike as they demanded an increment in the fares on Friday.

The representatives will be meeting with the Industries Minister Uday Samant in the Mantralay.

The association warned of going on a strike from September 26 if their demands go unfulfilled.

"The Mumbai Taximen's Union, Mumbai Taxi Association and Autorickshaw Unions have decided to go on indefinite strike from 26th September 2022 in protest against the failure to honour the commitment made by industrial minister, Maharashtra state Uday Samant, to revise the taxi and autorickshaw fare," read a statement by Mumbai Taximen's Association.

The association also informed that the decision comes after minister Sawant failed to deliver his earlier promises in a meeting that was held on September 13. -- ANI
