Rickshaws
A huge debate is going on in this page on the rickshaws, but no one thinks about the rickshaw pullers. Most rickshaw pullers are people migrating from rural areas. At present there is acute unemployment and hence an increase in crimes like mugging. No doubt there will be a massive problem if the rickshaws are removed because the roads in many places are so narrow. Removal of rickshaws will definite increase poverty and taxi cabs and CNG scooters cannot replace them instantly.
