Smooth_daddy said:I don't know mechanics of this ban or much about this gov decision. What i understand, govt has banned rickshaw enteries in certain crowded sections of the town. They can operate in a larger portion of the metropolis. I think this is the right strategy to phase out rickshaws from public transit system, especially when it is a health hazard. I personally don't think it is an issue of eliminating the poor. It is not an outright ban. This is just like a "truck-free" zone - commercial trucks are restricted from entering certain areas in town for potential danger and traffic hazard they pose to the greater benefit of the people.

i believe that one cannot feel the exact pain unless one goes through it ... similarly we cannot understand wht starvation and responsibilty of a family is...
one can never feel the pain of scortching sun when one is travelling in Air conditioned cars..
The government have banned the riskshawz!! well it did stopped the pollution but wht abt the poors who have riskhaws as their only source of income??? the government should have provided some kind of help to the poors before banning the 2 stroke riskhaws. Bilal is right by saying that government is trying to eliminate poors not poverty!
