A division bench of Chief Justice Antony Dominic, acting on a petition filed by a social organisation , upheld the demand that as per the Motor Vehicles Act passengers should not be allowed to travel while standing. K.K. Divakaran, a leader of the CPI-M backed trade union of the KSRTC, said the order will sound the death knell for KSRTC
KSRTC has an accumulated loss of Rs 7,966 crore. It was only early this month, after the government pumped in money, that the 40,000 KSRTC pensioners got their monthly pension after a gap of almost six months. Image source: Reuters
