RAWALPINDI - The transport department has issued orders to replace the two-stroke rickshaws with four-stroke ones or to convert the two-stroke into four-stroke and set October 15 as deadline. The transport department is of the view that two-stroke rickshaws are causing environmental pollution, which could be hazardous. Thus order has been issued to rickshaw owners to convert their 2-stroke rickshaws into 4-stroke ones by October 15 otherwise action would be taken against them.On the other hand, members of the rickshaw union protested against the order and said that the government was trying to create hurdle in the employment in the name of pollution. If rickshaw drivers become unemployed, a strong protest will be launched, they added.
