Transport crew switch off cellphones to avoid receiving calls from officials
The KSRTC employees’ strike hit hard the public in Malnad districts – Hassan, Shivamogga and Chikkamagaluru. Except for the officers and the clerical staff of the corporation, none reported for duty on Wednesday, forcing the district administration to make alternative transport arrangements with the help of private operators. The senior officers continued to convince the employees to return to duty; however their efforts hardly yielded any results. Hassan division, which operates 518 routes daily, registered over ₹65 lakh revenue per day in the pre-COVID-19 times. It had come down to ₹50 lakh a day in recent months.
