Mangaluru, March 21, 2025: The Dakshina Kannada Bus Operators Association has said that there would be no bus bundh in the district on March 22 in the wake of the Karnataka bundh call given by various pro-Kannada outfits against the disruptive acts of Marathi speaking people in Belagavi. It may be recalled here that a KSRTC bus conductor was assaulted by a group of Marathi youth in Belagavi recently.
DK Bus Operators’ Association President Azeez Parthippady said while the Association backs the demand of the Kannada outfits, it will not participate in the bundh.
He clarified that buses will ply as usual in the interests of the public as well as students as SSLC examinations are underway.
