MUMBAI: Several citizens found it difficult getting autos and taxis on Saturday evening as the vehicles went off the roads following news of the demise of Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray. Several shops have begun downing shutters. Said an auto driver, "We have just got the news of Thackeray's death. We are all hurrying back to our homes or returning vehicles to the owners."

Passengers arriving at the airports may also face inconvenience as taxis would refuse to ply, said sources. The fleetcab drivers also said they didn't want to take any risk and a significant number of them were reluctant to operate on Saturday evening. Taxi union leader Quadros said, "As a mark of respect to Balasaheb Thackeray, our cabbies will stay off the roads.

It seems that the bandh will continue till Sunday night." Nearly a lakh autos went off the roads gradually and the roads almost wore a deserted look, except for people walking back home in the evening. The vegetable markets were also shut in the evening at many places. BEST, however, has been operating with the usual fleet of buses, said an official.

The MSRTC buses operated as usual. Sources said there were huge crowds of passengers in buses arriving in the city as Shiv Sainiks from far flung places preferred rushing to Mumbai in the ST buses. An official said, "Our line inspectors and officers have been deployed to manage crowd and we are also ensuring that our services run smoothly." Ends Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel
