discribe in your own words on the rickshaw-man's way through the crowded bazaars?
Answers
Answer:
The cycle rickshaw was introduced in Delhi in 1940 and soon became very popular as a cheap mode of public transportation.Thus, a large number of people still depend on them. In order to control and regulate the rickshaws in Delhi, the MCD often employs the draconian Cycle Rickshaw Bye-Laws of 1960 Act. According to this law, one person is granted one cycle rickshaw license, except widows and handicapped persons, who can avail five license permits. Plying a cycle rickshaw without a proper license is illegal.
The traffic police and MCD officials frequently harass rickshaw pullers by puncturing rickshaw tires, and confiscating and impounding rickshaws. Because of the unsympathetic attitude of government agencies and the police, the rickshaw pullers often find themselves caught in technically illegal situations while struggling to earn a livelihood.
Many rickshaw pullers and owners complain that MCD officers impound rickshaws without any reason and dismantle the confiscated rickshaw if the owner or puller fails to pay the required fine along with the fees for the storage space in the MCD yard. But in reality, besides paying the required penalty, often the pullers and the owners have to pay a bribe to get their confiscated rickshaws released.
