Jammu, : The auto-rickshaw operators on Wednesday under the banner of All Jammu Auto Operators Association went on day long strike to lodge protest against the government for not conceding their demand of revising auto fare.
Alleging harassment by the Traffic Department and Motor Vehicle Department by fining them, the Auto Rikshaws operators on Wednesday remained off road.
