Bengaluru: Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa has fervently appealed to KSRTC staff to call off their strike.
A sincere effort was made to resolve problems of KSRTC staff in today’s meeting convened by Deputy Chief Minister Lakshman Savadi and Home Minister Basavaraja Bommai. Except the condition to consider KSRTC staff as Government employees, other demands such as rectifying salary differences, Rs. 30 lakh ex-gratia to the employees who died of Covid 19, action to avoid harassment from senior officials were promised to be fulfilled.
Though the employees association leaders agreed to this in the meeting and said that they would announce the same in the freedom park, they are creating unnecessary confusion, by joining hands with Kodihalli Chandrashekhar. It is not appropriate for Kodihalli Chandrashekhar to mislead the employees and his mala fied intentions are condemnable, said Chief Minister.
He expressed concerns over the inconveniences caused to the public and the loss and problems caused to the KSRTC and its employees. Therefore the Chief Minister has called upon the employees to end their strike and rejoin for duty.
