Tamil Nadu seeks one more month to implement revised auto fares

CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government on Monday sought one more month from the Supreme Court to implement the revised autorickshaw fares in the state.

The state government was supposed to file a compliance report on Monday as the apex court had earlier set a two-month deadline to revise the fare.

Talking to TOI, advocate SV Ramamurthy, who filed the PIL in the Supreme Court and who was present in the court on Monday, said: "The advocate general representing the state said that one more month would be required as the state plans to introduce GPS-enabled metres and that more discussions would be needed."

The case was heard by Justice F M Ibrahim Kalifulla. "The judge imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 to the state government for the delay," said Ramamurthy.

On May 6, the apex court gave the government, which had already failed to meet a January deadline, two more months to come up with the new fares and an additional fortnight to ensure that it puts the system in place.

A sustained campaign by The Times of India, attempts by activists and consumer rights organisations and the apex court's deadline gave commuters reason to anticipate the end of the tyranny of meterless autorickshaws. But delays in various government departments have let auto drivers off the hook.
