Private bus owners to continue strike as talks fail
Private bus owners have decided to continue their indefinite strike as the talks with transport minister AK Saseendran at Kozhikode guest house failed.
The government did not agree with the bus owners' demands including an increase in the concession rates of students. Private bus operators began the state-wide indefinite strike from Friday demanding a hike in minimum bus fare to Rs 10. Though the Cabinet on Wednesday approved a hike in bus fare to Rs 8 from the current Rs 7, the bus operators said the increase is inadequate.
It's a daunting time for travelers as about 13,000 private buses staying off the roads.
