Print Udupi: In a shocking move, Karnataka state high court has issued a stay order against 55 Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) buses operating in Udupi district. Hearing a petition filed by Udupi District Private Bus Owners Association, the court observed that 55 KSRTC buses including 45 Jawarhal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) city buses were running illegal in Udupi district.
Private bus owners association complained high court that JNNURM buses operated by KSRTC were plying on the long distance routes including Karkala, Kundapur ,Bhatkal and rural areas. Hearing the appeal, the court ordered buses to stop their service immediately.
President of the association, Kuilady Suresh Nayak, stated that his association had complained to the high court about illegal operation of JNNURM buses by KSRTC on long routes like Karkala, Kundapur and Bhatkal and several rural places. He said that the high court has issued stay order against the operation of buses for which newly route permits have been issued.
District in-charge minister, Pramod Maharaj, said that government buses were being introduced more and more in the district for serving the people better as many of the routes were to places that did not have bus connectivity so far. He said he is hurt at the stay granted against these buses and promised to hold discussions with transport minister, senior officials and legal experts to find a solution to the problem soon and to ensure that common people do not suffer on account of this development. The court has stayed operation of 45 JNNURM and ten other buses.
