YA ALLAH, such a heart melting tragedy, MAY ALLAH grant JANNAH,
KSRTC had staged a big protest to hike in their salary , let me ask you is this the reason you want hike in salary, these bus drivers drive so recklessly that they dont even care about the lives of others, its high time now. Govt should take stringent action against these reckless drivers.
