In the wake of the announced Karnataka Bandh, scheduled for tomorrow, essential public transportation services, including the Bangalore Metro, Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), and Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) buses, along with trains, are expected to operate as usual. The decision aims to mitigate inconvenience for the general public and ensure the smooth functioning of essential services.
Despite the planned statewide bandh, authorities have assured citizens that public transportation will remain unaffected, reducing disruptions for daily commuters. This move underscores the state’s commitment to maintaining essential services and upholding the right to mobility for its residents.
Speaking about the decision, a spokesperson for the concerned transport departments stated, “We understand the importance of public transportation in the daily lives of people. To minimize inconvenience during the bandh, we have decided to operate buses, metro, and trains as per their regular schedules.”
The assurance comes as a relief to thousands of commuters who rely on public transportation to reach their workplaces, schools, and other destinations across the state. The continued operation of these services is expected to ease the impact of the bandh on the daily lives of citizens.
It is important to note that while public transportation remains operational, individuals are encouraged to exercise caution and plan their travel accordingly, keeping in mind any potential disruptions or protests associated with the bandh.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and will take appropriate measures to ensure public safety and security throughout the bandh period.
