On Monday, traffic on Kandivali Link Road in Mumbai came to a halt as auto-rickshaw drivers staged a protest against the state government's requirement for Marathi language proficiency. The demonstration, which lasted for around 20 minutes, caused significant congestion on the road, frustrating commuters and motorists alike.
According to reports, the protest was sparked by the state government's recent crackdown on non-Marathi speaking drivers, who have been served with notices for failing to demonstrate practical knowledge of the language. In the past two days, over 1,900 auto and taxi drivers across Maharashtra have been issued notices for lacking Marathi proficiency.
