What's behind this
Auto‑taxi unions in Kerala have called off a planned strike after a meeting with Transport Minister C. P. John in which the government agreed in principle to revise fares. The joint trade union committee said earnings have not kept pace with the rising cost of running vehicles, noting that fuel prices have increased 16 times in the past four‑and‑a‑half years. Unions have asked that the existing minimum fare of ₹30 be raised to ₹50, and a panel will study the proposed revision, with the new fares slated to take effect from January 1.
