Ajmer : Ajmer Smart City: If you want to go to the outskirts and peripheral areas of Ajmer, then your own means of transport has become a major necessity. There is no public transport facility in these areas. Auto rickshaw drivers operating from railway station-bus stand will refuse to go to these areas. Even if someone goes for the greed of higher fare, the sword of challan from the flying squad of the transport department and the police station hangs over him.

In such a situation, the cheapest option available is auto rickshaw. But due to the requirement of permit from the transport department, auto rickshaw drivers hesitate to go. Sometimes if someone goes there, he has to face a challan.
Demand to increase the radius to 20 km: For the past many years, the issue has been raised by Ajmer Auto Rickshaw Union regarding increasing the scope of permits for their vehicles. On behalf of the union, the permit has been extended beyond the municipal limits by 20 km. Is being demanded.

Due to which movement was easy even in the peripheral area of the city, but after UIT was converted into ADA in the year 2014, the Transport Department also made changes and limited the auto permit to the Municipal Corporation limits, while the scope of ADA was increased from Ajmer city to Kishangarh, Nasirabad. , was extended to Mangliyawas and Pushkar.
