India: Unionized autorickshaw drivers striking in Bengaluru March 20

Event

Unionized autorickshaw drivers are staging a 24-hour strike in Bengaluru, 00:01 March 20-00:01 March 21. The action is to denounce the operation of bike taxis in the city. Organizers also plan to march from Bengaluru City Railway Station to the Chief Minister's House. The start time of the event is unclear.

Increased demand for alternative transport is likely. Authorities could deploy additional security along the march route. Localized transport disruptions are possible, especially if strike participants march on or block roadways.

Advice

Plan for ground transport disruptions and increased demand for alternative forms of transport. Avoid all protests; allow additional travel time near potential protest sites. Monitor local media for updated information about security and road conditions.
