The financial crisis unfolding in the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has hit salary distribution of employees.
Despite revenue of ₹58 crore in March, highest since the outbreak of COVID-19, the salary for the month has not been credited to the accounts of employees.
The delay in distribution of salary and the announcement of Transport Minister Antony Raju that the utility may have to lay off a section of employees as an immediate step to wriggle out of the crisis have strained the equation between the Minister and employees’ unions.
