Mangaluru, 26 Sep: Auto rickshaw drivers, owners and labors staged Padayatra from Mini Vidhan Soudha to Deputy Commissioner’s office, here on Thursday, September 26, opposing the amendment to Motor Vehicles Act.

 

 

Addressing the protesters in front of district headquarter, MLC Ivan D’Souza said, ‘The union government is adapting anti-labor policies.
