The Delhi Auto Rickshaw Sangh is set to hold a protest at Jantar Mantar here on Monday to demand setting up of a welfare board and highlight other transport-linked issues.
Under the umbrella organisation of the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, the Sangh will hold the agitation against the central and state governments.
“I appeal to all auto-taxi drivers to reach Jantar Mantar tomorrow and present their demands to the government. Our demand is that the Delhi government should immediately constitute the ‘Auto-Taxi Drivers’ Welfare Board’ and withdraw the increased vehicle fitness fees immediately,” Rajendra Soni, general secretary, Delhi Auto Rickshaw Sangh had said on Sunday.
The Transport Ministry had raised the fitness test fee for all motor vehicles older than 20 years in November 2025 to discourage people from keeping old vehicles.
The union also demands working time limits, accountability for officials of the Delhi transport department and an immediate ban on bike taxis with private number plates, Soni added.
