Rickshaw pullers block a part of the road with their vehicles in the capital’s Kakrail area yesterday during a demonstration demanding battery-run rickshaws be barred from operating on the city’s main thoroughfares. They said they were losing significant income since August 6 when the battery-run rickshaws started plying the streets.
