Kozhikode
The passengers’ struggle worsened on Friday with the private bus operators continuing with their indefinite strike by keeping off the road. The rush was unbearable in public transport buses in Kozhikode district as over 1,200 private buses joined the State-wide stir on the second day also.
Though the KSRTC was urged to operate special services to alleviate the commuters’ woes, shortage of staff hit the plan on several sectors. Meanwhile, the uninterrupted local and inter-district services operated by the KSRTC came to the relief of thousands of passengers.
