The Karnataka State Road Transport Employees League called off their two-week-long strike on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, 800 staff were on duty and 400 buses were operated. The remaining 1400 employees will be on duty on Thursday. According to officials, buses ply from Belagavi to Hubli, Dharwad, Khanapur, Gokak, Bailahongal, Chikkodi, Nippani, Bidar, Kalaburgi, Bengaluru, Mangaluru, Dharmasthala, Panaji and Hyderabad.
The move comes a day after the Karnataka High Court observed that the workers had chosen the “worst time to go on a strike” citing the pandemic. The court also issued a notice to Karnataka State Road Transport Employees League.
Corona law enforcement: Transport officials sanitized buses as more and more buses began to run on Wednesday. Corona guidelines are being followed at bus stops and will be scanned by Cantonment Board officials from today.
