Bus providers in Karnataka remained paralysed because the indefinite strike by the workers of state owned transport corporations over wage associated points entered the twelfth day on Sunday. Of the 17,000 buses, solely 7,100 may function by 4 pm, the transport division mentioned in an announcement.

The Karnataka State Highway

operated 3,225 buses, Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation — 1,387, North East Karnataka Transport Company — 1,200 and North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation — 1,288 buses by 4 pm.

The employees have been demanding the implementation of sixth pay fee advice for them, which the federal government has refused, saying it will not be attainable within the current circumstances.

Ever for the reason that strike started, the federal government tried to run buses solely to incur the wrath of the agitators, who broken them.

A bus driver of the North Western Karnataka Road Transport Corporation, who joined responsibility amid the agitation died after sustaining critical accidents in a stone pelting incident in Bagalkote district on Friday.
