Mumbai auto-rickshaw services disrupted as drivers boycott over Marathi language test

Mumbai's auto-rickshaw services faced disruption as drivers stayed away from roads in protest against a newly mandated Marathi language test. The drivers' boycott reflected concerns over the examination requirement, which many said would hinder their operations.

The protest highlighted tensions between regulatory compliance and livelihood concerns among the city's substantial auto-rickshaw workforce. Commuters faced difficulties finding transport during the boycott period.
