TOBA TEK SINGH, June 22: Scores of drivers riding on their motorcycle-rickshaws took out a rally on Thursday at Gojra to protest against 100 per cent proposed raise in tax by the tehsil municipal administration in the budget.

The rally starting from Gadda Khana Chowk ended at TMA offices after marching along various roads.

Speaking on the occasion, rickshaw union president Malik Tariq Salman and leaders of various political parties condemned the proposed raise in the tax and demanded its withdrawal.

They urged tehsil council members to reject the tax proposal on its presentation for approval in the house. Later, Tehsil Nazim Chaudhry Asad Zaman Cheema assured the rickshaw union office-bearers that the proposal would be withdrawn.
