India – Taxi Strike Jan 5-6 in Delhi

Private taxi and auto-rickshaw drivers are threatening to launch a 48-hour strike Jan. 5 in Delhi. Organizers maintain that the strike will see an estimated 12,000 private taxis and 80,000 auto-rickshaws remain off the road. The labor action will likely cause crowded conditions on alternate mass transit such as buses and metro trains, especially during peak morning and evening travel hours.
