Margao: Margao wore a deserted look today due to the strike as most people preferred to stay at home rather than venture out and face any problem.KTC bus stand was quite deserted and there were a few private buses operating even though KTC had arranged 23 buses to ply on any required route. Even the shuttle service counter had very few people purchasing tickets.
KTC Margao Depot Manager RajanKorgaonkar said they were prepared to deal with any situation to ensure that public is not troubled. The few people present at the bus stand said they had no problem coming to Margao and expected no trouble to get back home.
Most of the nationalized banks in Margao had skeletal staff working and hence many of them had only half a shutter open with some banks closing their shutters.
