Drivers’ association writes to Delhi CM
Citing various concerns related to their financial condition due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, drivers’ associations in the Capital on Monday wrote to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal demanding that the validity of vehicular documents be extended till March 31, 2022.
Delhi Taxi, Tourist Transporters’ Association president Sanjay Samrat said the community is still feeling the adverse economic impact of the pandemic and things had further deteriorated due to the emergence of the Omicron variant.
“Schools have been shut all this while and just when tourism had somewhat started picking up, the Omicron variant surfaced. Banks and financial institutions have started repossessing the vehicles of operators because they could not pay their loan EMIs on time,” Mr. Samrat wrote in his letter.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
