Private bus operators in Keralam begin indefinite hunger strike
Private bus operators in Kerala have launched an indefinite hunger strike, demanding government action to safeguard their industry. They argue that the recently introduced Priyadarshini free‑travel scheme for state‑run KSRTC buses has triggered a severe downturn for private operators, threatening livelihoods. The protest seeks measures to mitigate the impact and ensure the sector’s viability in the region.
