Auto-rickshaw drivers in Trimbakeshwar, a famous pilgrimage town near Nashik, have taken issue with the arrival of app-based taxi services like Ola and Uber. Despite an ongoing increase in visitors and Hindu pilgrims, the drivers worry that these services are hurting their income. Trimbakeshwar is renowned for attracting numerous devotees and tourists year-round, and locals provide transportation for many of them.
However, the drivers argue that their earnings have dropped since the emergence of app-based transportation services in the region. Auto-rickshaw unions are opposing the services and plan to organize protests. They are urging local authorities and the involved companies to protect the rights of the city's drivers. Nashik's police and municipal administration are working to resolve the matter by listening to the concerns of both parties.
Auto-rickshaw unions have requested a resolution that strikes a balance between tourists' convenience and the livelihoods of local drivers.
