Karimnagar, Nov 20: (Hydnow): In a significant move to support the auto driver community, Telangana Chief Minister Chandrasekhar Rao pledged to eliminate fitness charges imposed on auto drivers immediately upon assuming power after the Assembly elections.

KCR’s pledge to waive fitness charges for auto drivers underscores his government’s focus on the well-being of all citizens, particularly those who contribute significantly to the state’s economy and daily life. This measure is expected to provide much-needed financial relief to auto drivers and boost their morale, further strengthening their contribution to Telangana’s transportation sector.(Hydnow)
