Keralam Private Bus Hunger Strike Set to Spread
Private bus owners in Keralam have been on hunger strike, and it will enter its fourth day on October 30. The agitation is set to expand to other districts. Their demands include protection for the private bus industry, which is being affected by the KSRTC free travel scheme.
