About 100 auto drivers stormed BKC on Tuesday to protest outside the Mahanagar Gas Limited office demanding reduction in CNG charges. Auto unions said that the “unprecedented” hike in CNG prices has broken the backbone of the industry. “The meeting was successful. We met stakeholders of MGL and discussed the issue amicably,” Mumbai Automen Union leader Shashank Sharad Rao said. A kilo of CNG cost Rs 76 on Tuesday. The police managed to control the traffic as the protesting autos were on the side roads of the MGL and did not affect movement of traffic on BKC main road.
