As the indefinite strike launched by private bus operators entered the third day on Saturday, Transport Minister Antony Raju has appealed to the striking bus operators to shun their stubborn stand and call off the strike.
The State government has agreed to revise bus fares based on the recommendation of the Justice Ramachandran Nair fare revision committee.
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) meeting to be held on Wednesday would discuss the issue and take a final decision on the fare revision, Mr. Raju said. The decision to revise the bus fares was taken after holding a discussion with the bus owners and the government was ready to hear further if the bus owners had anything more to say.
