After a fortnight-long uncertainty, the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) on Monday began paying salary to its employees, averting a major crisis in the transport utility.
KSRTC employees were on the warpath as the salary payment for March got delayed and their unions had announced strikes on various dates in protest against the delay.
KSRTC Chairman and Managing Director Biju Prabhakar confirmed that salary distribution began on Monday afternoon and it would be completed by night.
