Private bus employees to give their one day salary to flood victims
Kasaragod, August 17: The Kasaragod District Bus Owners Association has come forward to donate their one day ticket collection amount and one day salary of their employees to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund to help the flood victims in Kerala state.
On August 30, the bus owners would give their one day earnings to the CM relief funds, said association president K Girish.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, he said that on that day, students and other passengers were requested to give full amount instead of concession amount. In the same way, the people who travel in other vehicles should travel in private buses on that day and contribute for relief works, he appealed.
It would be conducted in all five assembly segments before the ministers, MLAs and elected representatives, he said.
Association general secretary Satyan Poochakkad, treasurer PA Muhammad Kunhi, Shankar Naik, NM Hasainar, CA Muhammad Kunhi, and others were present.

The 2.46-minute video that surfaced on social media showed the woman telling the two Kashmiris not to come to the village and asking them to say "Jai Shri Ram" to prove they are "Hindustani."
Sharing the video on X on Monday, National Convenor of the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association, Nasir Khuehami, claimed that the video was from a village in Himachal's Hamirpur district.
"No one will purchase their products, buy from our Hindu people," the woman is seen telling others in the video. "Don't come in my area," she told shawl sellers.
Later in a post, Khuehami said that the chief minister's office had assured action against anyone found intimidating Kashmiris.
However, when contacted, the CM's media advisor Naresh Chauhan told the PTI that there was no such complaint. The matter would be looked into if any complaint is registered, he said.
A large number of Kashmiris come to the state to sell shawls and other products, while hundreds of Kashmiris labourers work in the state round the year.
It is highly condemnable that a woman, wife of a Sarpanch, is exhibiting communal behavior toward two Kashmiri men who traveled to Himachal Pradesh for business purposes.
