In my opinion, rickshaws should be allowed to continue to service people in Kolkata for the following reasons: The most important reason is that they provide the poor and uneducated with jobs which do not need qualifications. The drivers can then feed their families. Furthermore, since they do not use fuel, they help preserve finite energy sources. This also means they do not pollute the air. Next, they are convenient since they pick up and deliver their passengers right to the passengers’ doors. However, the concerned authorities and other sectors of society should cooperate to prepare other forms of work and social welfare because when the drivers become older they will not be able to continue this demanding service.
Disagree:
I think rickshaws should be banned because it is inhumane. It is a symbol of slavery. It shows the discrimination practised in society. For this reason, people from various sectors should work together to offer sustainable help to the drivers. For example, the drivers should be provided with education or vocational knowledge so that they can find more suitable jobs necessary for their survival.
