Year later, auto & e-rickshaw operators drive sans uniforms in Ranchi

A year after Ranchi mandated colour-coded uniforms for auto and e-rickshaw drivers, thousands flout the rule. Drivers cite financial strain and rising costs as reasons for non-compliance, with many unable to afford multiple sets. Lax enforcement has further diminished adherence, despite the initiative aiming to boost passenger safety and driver identification. Officials claim regular monitoring and fines are in place.
