KSRTC employees and their family members staged a protest in Hassan urging the State government to fulfil the demands of the employees. Women and children took part in the dharna carrying plates and cups. The protesters gathered at Hemavathi Statue Circle and from there they marched to the Deputy Commissioner’s office, raising slogans.
The protesters said that the employees had been on the strike demanding hike in salaries. The payment they had been getting all these years was insufficient given the basic needs of the families. Many could not afford higher education for their children. The government should listen to their demands and fulfill them. They also expressed anger over the KSRTC’s disciplinary action against some employees who led the protests. They wanted the transfer and suspension of the employees withdrawn.
