KSRTC bus fare will be cheaper from Dec 5
Central office okays Mangaluru division proposal
Mangaluru, December 4: Fares of Volvo, Rajahamsa, AC, Non AC and all buses of the KSRTC would come down by 10 per cent with immediate effect.
The Corporation has agreed the proposal submitted by the Mangaluru Divisional office to compete the private bus services in the district. But the decision would be applied to the entire state from December 5.
During peak days- from December 21 to January 15, the exiting fare would continue. But after January 16, the fare would be slashed. Normally, every year, the KSRTC bus fares would be reduced on certain days from January 15. During exams, the number of passengers would be less. But this time, the KSRTC has reduced the fare well in advance.

22 killed in airstrikes in central Beirut, with Israel also firing on UN peacekeepers
Beirut (AP): Israeli airstrikes on central Beirut on Thursday left two neighbuorhoods smoldering, killed 22 people and wounded dozens, Lebanon's health ministry said, as well as further escalating Israel's bloody conflict with Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The air raid on central Beirut — the deadliest in over a year of war — apparently targeted two residential buildings in separate neighborhoods simultaneously, according to an AP photographer at the scene. It brought down one eight-story building and wiped out the lower floors of the other.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the reported strikes. Israeli airstrikes have been far more common in Beirut's tightly packed southern suburbs, where Hezbollah bases many of its operations.
After the strikes, Hezbollah's Al Manar TV reported that an attempt to kill Wafiq Safa, a top security official with the group, had failed. It said that Safa had not been inside of either of the targeted buildings.
Thursday's strikes followed a year of tit-for-tat exchanges between Hezbollah and Israel that boiled over into all-out war in recent weeks, with Israel carrying out waves of heavy airstrikes across Lebanon and launching a ground invasion. Hezbollah has expanded its rocket fire to more populated areas deeper inside Israel, causing few casualties but disrupting daily life.
The attack came the same day Israeli forces fired on United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon and wounded two of them, drawing widespread condemnation and prompting Italy's Defense Ministry to summon Israel's ambassador in protest.
Israeli strikes hit central BeirutWitnesses reported a large number of ambulances and people gathering in the rubble of two Beirut sites that were hit, in the Ras al-Nabaa neighborhood and Burj Abi Haidar area.
The Lebanese Health Ministry said 22 people were killed and 117 others wounded, without elaborating on their identities.
