Pathania, accompanied by a delegation from the Auto Operator Union, met Sukhu on Wednesday evening to discuss the issue. He informed the Chief Minister that the state government's mandate to use e-rickshaws in McLeodganj and surrounding areas has caused significant challenges.

"E-rickshaws struggle to navigate the steep terrains of areas like Dharamkot, Naddi, Upper Bhagsu, Haini, and Rakkad, often stopping midway, leading to inconvenience for both commuters and drivers," he said.

Pathania urged the Chief Minister to approve the union's request to resume the operation of petrol autos, as was the practice earlier.

"The CM has instructed the relevant departments to reassess the decision and take steps to provide relief to the auto operators in the region," he said.
