Airport auto ban shaky, shows RTI query

Ahmedabad: The turf war between autorickshaw drivers at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport refuses to end.
After a ban on autorickshaws other than Green Auto (G-Auto) - a state-sponsored initiative by an IIM-A alumnus - to pick up passengers from Ahmedabad airport, the rickshaw drivers have now used RTI Act to clarify the rulebook.
Ahmedabad Autorickshaw Drivers Sangarsh Samiti had on August 16, 2011 filed an RTI application seeking information about the rule using which the airport authorities banned them from the terminal.
The Airport Authority of India (AAI)'s reply to the RTI plea has clearly exposed the double speak of authorities and caught them on the shaky ground, the applicants said.
AAI have replied that there is no ban on any autorickshaw driver to operate at the airport.
