Kota : Unruly e-rickshaws have spoiled the traffic system in Kota city. The Transport Department has not yet been able to decide the policy for operating e-rickshaw. This is the reason why ten to twenty e-rickshaws are seen standing at every intersection. They stop in the middle of the road to pick up passengers. In such a situation, a traffic jam occurs. Public transport vehicles are also facing problems due to e-rickshaws. Neither a permit is required to run an e-rickshaw, nor registration is required for the prescribed speed. In such a situation, many are buying two or four e-rickshaws and running them on rent.
