KSRTC staff observe one hour strike

December 11, 2020

Mysore/Mysuru: Bus service to several districts was affected for more than an hour after KSRTC staff went on strike urging the State Government to treat them as Government employees in city this morning.

However, the city bus service remained unaffected. The bus service to outside Mysuru was normal till 11 am. The KSRTC Employees Union members from Bengaluru called local office-bearers to observe strike at least for one hour to build pressure on the Government to fulfill their demands. Accordingly, the local staff struck work from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. 

The buses towards Bengaluru, Mandya, Chamarajanagar, Kushalnagar, Malavalli, Tumakuru, Chitradurga and other places were stopped for one hour. But, inter-State buses towards Tamil Nadu and Kerala plied normally.

Passengers faced hardship as the KSRTC staff went on strike for one hour. Buses were not in the bay and even drivers and conductors were not visible. The service resumed after 12:30 pm.

Police had provided security near Sub-Urban Bus Stand as precautionary measure.

    Sir, when did the service resume? there was no bus service both KSRTC and city buses through out the day. Even at 6pm, many people were waiting for their city bus near railway station and other places enroute. The bus staff took citizens to ransom, and as usual our Govt. is a mute spectator. The ministers are not affected as they have high end cars for their travel. It is disgusting to note the present rule of state, which is dumb spectator for bandhs, strikes. They have exposed their incompetancy.
