Autorickshaw drivers in India bore the brunt of
demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denomination notes due to steep
decline in sales and passengers.
Autorickshaw drivers felt the heat, as they refused to ferry many passengers due to problem of notes of lower denominations. Very few autorickshaws were lined up outside different metro stations.
Autorickshaw driver Mohammad Wasim said: "We get a number of passengers in evening hours, but today (Wednesday) we had to turn back many persons."
"I have hardly earned Rs 700 today as against about Rs 2,000 to Rs 2,500 daily."
He said most of his friends driving autorickshaws preferred to stay home.
