KSRTC suspends services to Tamil Nadu

The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has stopped its services towards Tamil Nadu which is observing a bandh over the Cauvery dispute on Tuesday.

Over 120 schedules of the KSRTC were cancelled in the morning after their counterparts in Tamil Nadu advised them on the fears of these buses being targeted.

In all, KSRTC operates 410 schedules towards Tamil Nadu daily, while its Tamil Nadu counterpart operates 596 schedules. All these services came to a halt on Tuesday morning.

KSRTC officials hoped services could resume late in the evening. So far, the Corporation has not reported any damage to its buses – some of which are parked in bus stations in Tamil Nadu.
