Karnataka bus strike: State government advises WFH, calls for private operators to step in amid KSTRC, BMTC employees' protest

Karnataka State Road Corporation employees initiated an indefinite strike on Tuesday after talks with the Chief Minister regarding salary arrears and pay hikes failed. The strike, despite a High Court order to hold it, threatens to disrupt daily commutes across the state. The unions are demanding the clearance of pending arrears and a 25% pay raise.
