Rs 20,000 fines on autos entering Noida Expressway as police crack whip

Traffic police in Noida, India have started issuing fines of Rs 20,000 ($270) to auto-rickshaw drivers who enter the Noida Expressway, where three-wheelers are prohibited. The auto union has threatened to protest if the police continue with this strict enforcement. While the police argue that autos are not allowed on the expressway, the union claims that drivers only use a small section to reach certain areas. The union has demanded that the fines be cancelled or they will go on strike.
