KSRTC, Private bus services in Dakshina Kannada to operate as usual on Monday
Mangaluru: KSRTC Bus services in Dakshina Kannada are likely to remain unaffected even as several organizations have called for observing a bandh to support the protests of farmers against the farm bills passed in parliament last week.
A state-wide bandh would be observed in Karnataka on Monday by various farmers’ organizations, protesting the amendments to the APMC and land reforms acts made by the BS Yediyurappa government.
The dawn-to-dusk bandh call has been supported by several pro-Kannada and other outfits besides the opposition Congress and the JD(S), who had opposed the amendment bills in the assembly.
The officials of KSRTC in Dakshina Kannada confirmed that their bus services will continue as usual while the private buses services are also likely to continue as usual in the district.
DK District Bus Owners Association President Dilraj Alva also confirmed that city buses and private buses will operate as usual in the district on Monday.

Anil Deshmukh discharged from hospital, says will teach lesson to BJP
Nagpur, Nov 19: Former Maharashtra home minister and senior NCP (SP) leader Anil Deshmukh, injured in a stone attack on his car a day earlier, was discharged from hospital on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Deshmukh said the BJP will be taught a lesson.
"I want to tell BJP that you can pelt stones or fire bullets on Anil Deshmukh. I will not die nor will we leave you before teaching you a lesson," he said.
Deshmukh suffered a head injury when some unidentified persons hurled stones at his car on Monday night when he was returning to Katol from attending a poll meeting in Nagpur district.
Police have registered a case against four unidentified persons on charges of attempt to murder.
The former home minister was initially rushed to the Katol Civil Hospital before being shifted to a private hospital in Nagpur, police said.
Anil Deshmukh's son Salil Deshmukh is contesting from the Katol assembly constituency on the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) ticket against BJP's Charansingh Thakur.
