The indefinite strike launched by the private bus operators demanding fare revision was called off on Sunday. The operators decided to end the strike considering an appeal made by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Transport Minister Antony Raju at a meeting held here with representatives of the bus operators.
Lawrence Babu, general secretary, Kerala State Private Bus Operators’ Federation, said the meeting was cordial and the Chief Minister promised them that their demands would be considered favourably in the next Left Democratic Front (LDF) meeting on Wednesday. “Since we have faith in the Chief Minister, we decided to call off the strike,” said Mr. Babu.
