Bus strike on June 11

Kozhikode: Private bus operators in the State will go on a token strike on June 11 to protest government's move to nationalise 31 bus routes.

Representatives of the Kerala Bus Operators Coordination Committee told a press meet here Tuesday that they will resort to indefinite strike from July 1, if the government failed to take a favourable decision.

The government's decision to nationalise the routes will affect nearly 12,000 private bus services, they said.

Earlier, a meeting of the Coordination Committee, comprising five associations of private bus operators, asked the government to desist from its move.
