Thiruvananthapuram : The KSRTC employees’ strike entered its 2nd day statewide, posing dire hardship for essential travel for the general public.

The strike demanding more pay has been called by KSRTC Employees Association(CITU) and KASTES(BMS) lasting 24 hours starting Thursday midnight while TDF(INTUC) and KASTEU(BITUC) have their strike timed 48 hours since.
