Mysore/Mysuru: The indefinite strike launched on Apr. 7 by employees of State-run Road Transport Corporations — KSRTC, NWKRTC, NEKRTC and BMTC — seeking fulfilment of their nine-point charter of demands, which chiefly included salary as per the Sixth Pay Commission, entered the fifth day today, even as a few striking workers trickled back to work today in Mysuru.
With about 250 workers out of the over 3,000 staff including Mechanics and supporting workers reporting for work today morning, the KSRTC Mysuru Rural Division operated 40 buses from the Sub-Urban Bus Stand, while the City Division operated nearly 100 buses on city routes from the City Bus Stand. The city bus operations may increase by afternoon as the authorities are expecting more number of staff to report for work. On the other hand, the Inter-State services operated by Transport Corporations of neighbouring States, have continued as usual.
