History
editIn May 2002, APATDU criticised police for the detainment of vehicles to collect fines from their drivers. The union demanded a stop to the detainment and threatened a demonstration if the demand would not be met.[2] On July 23, APATDU led a protest in Hyderabad.[3]
In February 2003, APATDU called for a four-day strike in Hyderabad against police harassment, illegal imposition of fines and the groundless seizure of cars. The strike was called off following a meeting of general secretary Bhoopal with home minister Devender Goud.[4]
In 2013, APATDU took part in a general transport strike in Hyderabad, demanding the instatement of a welfare board.[5]
