The petitioner Ami Sisodia states that due to the unavailability of free public transport provided to women, she has to resort to taking expensive alternate modes of transport to commute.
The plea argues that the strike impacts lakhs of residents, students, daily-wage workers, salaried employees, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, patients and economically weaker commuters who depend upon affordable public transportation.
Further, it states that the strike has shifted the pressure of commuters on the Delhi Metro services.
The petition has been filed through advocate Vikrant Dabas.
