Kadamba transport cooperation limited suspended their long-agitated protest on Saturday. KTCL members said as government has partially accepted our demands, we will suspend our protest and wait for government further steps.
Adv Suhas Naik said that “we agree things will gradually happen and we welcome the agreement proposed by the chief minister to us”. We are looking forward for settling all the demands by us and if not then will not hesitate to continue with the protest again.
He even warned that “if the agreement is not signed and left over demands are not fulfilled will hit the road again with much larger force”. Speaking to media naik said that We are not suspending this protest on verbal assurance, we have seen the minutes of the meeting and we have been handed over with the draft.
Speaking to media he said that maximum demands have been fulfilled by the government, except for the payment of provident fund arears. We had demanded for two fifty buses and government have sanctioned fifty as off now, remaining will follow, naik added. “We are firm on our demand of two fifty buses and slots of three more buses will follow”, said
Fifty new buses will be used on interstate roads which are profit making routes. We are asking government to provide with good buses so that we can provide good service to the commuters. “If we have to sustain KTCL future then we have to upgrade our service, so that commuters do not go to private buses”, he added.
