The Mumbai automen's union has again said its members are willing to come forward to help the government get rid of illegal autos and transporters who have become a big headache. They claim they are spoiling the name of the auto fraternity and have offered 365 days help to identify and weed them out.

Meeting Maharashtra's Transport Minister Anil Parab on Friday, Mumbai Automen's Union leader Shashank Sharad Rao, representing 15 lakh auto rickshawmen, made the proposal in addition to several demands for the industry, also seeking Rs 10,000 per month as help in these difficult times, waiving off loans on autos that have been taken by jobless youth and to remove the restrictions imposed on automen as Unlock continues.
