Admitting the financial crunch caused by the rise in fuel prices, Transport Minister B. Sriramulu said that there was no proposal before the government to hike bus fares in the State. “We are aware of the rising prices of fuel. Yet, we are not going to hike bus fares to maintain the revenues. COVID-19 has worsened the financial condition of the people and the government doesn’t want to add to their woes. We will take such decisions that would not affect people further,” Mr. Sriramulu said after holding a meeting with transport officials at the Regional Transport Office in Ballari on Saturday. He also announced that a driving training centre and seizer yard to keep the seized vehicles would shortly come up on about 10 acres in Ballari.
