HUBLI: Members of Karnataka State Road Transport Employees Federation will stage a dharna infront of DC’s office in Dharwad on August 30 to protest against the decision to allow private bus operators to shift their operations to the NWKRTC’s new bus terminus, Gokul.

In a press release Dr K S Sharma, president of the federation, asked the chairman of the city infrastructure improvement committee to drop the decision to allow the private bus operators to shift their operations to the new bus-terminus in Hubli.

The decision was not only contravening to the rules and established practices but also suicidal to the interests of NWKRTC. NWKRTC was sustaining a loss of nearly Rs 1 lakh a day because of the Bendre bus operations in Hubli-Dharwad and by allowing them to use corporation’s bus stand in Gokul Road, it would have to suffer further revenue loss.

In the interests of the travelling public, the federation urged the infrastructure committee to drop the above decision, he said.
