several others to support our strike. They have supported us. Luxury
Taxi will also support our strike.
Situ leader Anadi Sahoo has said, we are
supporting the protest. But right now there are polls and Exams hence I
had told them to postpone the Strike. But Bengal Taxi association has

But we will see to that there is no destruction.
