Bangalore Auto complaint cell

Now this is not about Patiala or Amritsar or even Mangalore for that matter but the Delhi and Bangalore are a consistent source of trouble,cheating and frustration when it comes to autos.After having suffered myself a couple of times where auto drivers simply refused at point blank the fair predecided and after paying almost astronomical charges I was myself exasperated at the helplessness of the situation.

And there have been instances with friends where autowallahs especially in Bangalore have tried to take advantage of situation especially in case of girls travelling alone.Now from being a nuisance of overcharging and cheating it is taking the form of almost a criminal backdrop where safety of passengers is highly susceptible.

In this regard there has been one breakthrough that is slighlty reassuring.

Authorities in Bangalore have started a new drive to make auto travelling safer. They have set up cells to take complaints and have promised to do something about the complaints.

The system was put in place around April 10 after increasing complaints of cheating instances of autodrivers.

Hopefuly it will help to curb the nuisance by instant grievance addressing.

Rest it is only upto the individual if he is able to sort out the situation by being alert and proactive in a situation like this and take full advantage of his assets.In this regard the venerable Karan Baghi has a lesson or two to share.
