The unions have refused to call off their strike despite an announcement by the Delhi government to form a committee to consider fare revision.
Commuters in Delhi may face problems as various unions of auto, taxi and minibus drivers have decided to go on strike on Monday. The unions have been demanding a hike in fare rates and a slashing of CNG prices.
While most unions said they will be on a one-day strike, the Sarvodaya Driver Association Delhi, which has members who drive for cab aggregators, said it will go on an "indefinite" strike from Monday.
The unions have refused to call off their strike despite an announcement by the Delhi government to form a committee to consider fare revision in a time-bound manner.
"We have decided to go on an indefinite strike from Monday in view of no action by the government to help us by slashing prices of fuels and revising fares," President, Sarvodaya Driver Association Delhi, Kamaljeet Gill, said.
