Driven by constant complaints from commuters about auto rickshaw drivers refusing to ply, the traffic police launched a special drive three days ago. In a bid to ensure that the auto rickshaw drivers in the city get the picture, the traffic police decided to not just fine them, but also sought cooperation from the Regional Transportation Office (RTO) to have their licences temporarily suspended. So far, the police have booked 650 auto rickshaw drivers for refusing to ply and succeeded in collecting Rs 80,000 in fines.u00a0
