Ban RSS and save India. Hang this stupid guy in public

Is this RSS culture what people like Sangeet Som wants ?

If somebody gets murdered because of personal enimity, they claim

On the other hand if their activisit is invloved in a rape, abuse or murder crime then they will disown

They are all maniacs. These kind of illegal things might be taught in their Saakha

Punish them properly. They are the reason for all kind of problems. In every problem atleast one saffron member is involved

They are working for Arsha Bharat Dignity

Private buses remain off roads in DK, Mysuru despite permission

Mangaluru/Mysuru, May 19: Though the Karnataka government permitted the private buses, operators in Dakshina Kannada district have decided not to operate buses until May end. In Mysuru district too the private buses remained off the roads.

Dakshina Kannada Bus Owners’ Association President Dilraj Alva said “Technically, private bus operators are not able to operate services as all of us have surrendered our permits. If we start services we will have to pay the tax for entire month. Hence, we have decided to resume bus services from June 1.”

The private buses had suspended their services since March 24.

In addition, bus owners also have two more demands which the state government needs to consider on priority, he said.

“We have requested the government to exempt private buses from paying tax for the next six months. We were not plying buses during lockdown and it will be tough for us in the next three months to operate as per new conditions.”

“The government has allowed only 30 persons in each bus to maintain social distancing. In addition, we have been urging the state government for bus fare revision since 2013. The government has revised the bus fares of KSRTC twice after that,” Alva said adding that bus owners will be meeting Mangaluru RTO on Tuesday.
