Bengaluru: The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation’s indefinite strike entered the tenth day on Friday, continuing to affect bus services across the state.
The employees of four road transport corporations in Karnataka had started the strike on April 7 due to a stalemate with the government over the wage-related issue. Notably, employees seek wages as per the 6th Pay Commission. However, the government has clarified that it was not possible to implement the sixth pay commission for the RTC employees.
