“Good going guys,” said a message posted by Jishna Joshi, whose profile picture was the campaign logo.

“It gives me immense pleasure to read what people are doing. Jammers rock!”

By 8.30 pm on Thursday, 135 people had posted comments and 254 others had ‘liked’ these posts. Supporters also exhorted each other to go in for another round of ‘Meter Jam’ming.

“This needs to gain momentum, this shouldn’t be simply a flash in the pan but a sustained campaign against these rogue drivers who hold the aam janta to ransom,” Omkar Kulkarni wrote.

“We need to hit them right where it hurts.”

Not all were impressed with the campaign.

“Time is money in Mumbai, your campaign just made trouble and pain,” said Mehul Maniar’s post.

“Instead you can suggest sharing autos and taxis wherever you can.”
