Mangaluru: With educational institutions in Dakshina Kannada started offline classes for a value of six to 10 and PU, the city bus between Talapady and Mangaloru watched a big rush during rush hour during rush hour.
After this, Sahayathri, a daily commuter forum from Kasilagod had appealed to the Head of the Karnataka Minister and the Dakshina District Administration of Kannada to continue the KSRTC bus service between the Kerala border in Talapady and Mangaluru.
Members of Sahayathri Kishor Yenankudlu told Ti that the government bus from Kerala had operated between Kasaragod and Talapady, but the KSRTC bus service from the Mangaluru Division had not yet begun.
“Because of the lack of sufficient bus, students from Kasaragod were made to travel on the city bus packed from Talapady to Manglaela.
At least for the convenience of students from the border area, the KSRTC must operate the bus between Talapady and Mangaluru,” he said.
Before Pandemic, the KSRTC bus from Karnataka and Kerala operated between Mangaluru and Kasaragod at a three-minute interval.
After the first lock, the bus service on the route is suspended.
Then, in June and July this year, the KSRTC bus from Mangalore Depot operates between Mangaluru and Talapady.
However, because the Covid-19 case increased in Kerala, the service on the stretch was suspended again and only the city bus operating between Mangaluru and Talapady.
Daily students and commuters from Kerala are now permitted with RT-PCR negative reports, and they must repeat the test once in seven days.
For tweets made by Sahayathri, @KSRTC_Journey (Karnataka SRTC) has been answered: “Your complaint has been registered and has been sent to the department concerned.” When contacted, DK Deputy Commissioner Dr.
KV Rajendra, said it was impossible to start a bus service between Mangaluru and Kasaragod, now considering the Covid-19 surge in Kerala.
“We cannot allow the KSRTC bus on the Mangaluru route – Kasaragod to the level of progress in Kerala reduced significantly.
However, we will think about providing bus services between Talapady and Mangaluru only for students during rush hour,” he added.
