Private bus operators in Kerala announce an indefinite hunger strike from Oct 27 over Priyadarshini scheme impacts, fare revisions, and expert committee recommendations.
Private buses in the state are on strike, demanding compensation for the financial losses incurred through the Priyadarshini project and a minimum fare of Rs 20. A joint committee of six organizations will announce the strike in Kochi. Their main demand is to increase the concession rate for students.
