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.

Bomb threat triggers panic at Indian Museum in Kolkata
Kolkata (PTI): A bomb threat triggered panic at the Indian Museum here on Tuesday, prompting security personnel to launch a search operation, officials said.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), responsible for the museum's security, informed the New Market police station, following which a thorough search was initiated, they said.
The museum was closed to visitors until a clearance was received from the police, sources said.
According to the officials, the museum authorities received an email which claimed that bombs would be planted in the museum on Tuesday. The message, however, did not specify the exact location.
"There are over 51 rooms in the museum, which are being searched by security personnel. So far, no suspicious object has been found," a police officer said.
The footpath of the Indian Museum on Jawaharlal Nehru Road has been cordoned off with guardrails.
Onlookers speculated that it could be a fool's day prank.
Several calls to the museum director went unanswered.
