The Railway Protection Force (RPF) cracked down on unruly autorickshaw drivers at the railway station, seizing 24 vehicles. The court fined each driver Rs 400.
The operation began at 8 a.m. on Monday and continued till noon. Acting under inspector K. Bhaskarrao, a team including sub-inspector K. Chandilal, assistant sub-inspector Shesrao Nimbalkar, and head constables Naser Khan, Firoz Khan, and Dilip Sangle carried out the drive in plain clothes. Each rickshaw was intercepted discreetly, without alerting other drivers. A total of Rs 9,600 was collected in fines, said K. Chandilal. The seized rickshaws will be released only after the drivers submit affidavits promising disciplined conduct.
