Most ofthe men engaged in pulling rickshaws get these on hire and pay Rs. 2toRs. 3a day to the owners. Their economic condition is not satisfactorysince on an average they earn onlyRs. 200to Rs. 300per mensem. Risingprices have affected adversely this section of the people. Banking agencieshave financed some rickshaw pullers in purchasing rickshaws.Asfor tongas, their number is few in this district. The demand isno longer brisk inth~ urban areas ofthe district duetothe ready availabilityof rickshaws atcomparitively lower rates; the costand maintenance ofa rickshawismuch smaller; the rickshaw also takes the passenger to his residenceevenin narrow lanes. Tongas are used for longer distances into thecountry-side. The use of passenger tempos has gained popularity in recentyears again at the cost of the tonga.The economic and social status of Government transport employeesismuch better than that of rickshaw pullers and tonga drivers.
