Mangaluru, Jul 24: The schools in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts will remain open on Monday, July 25, communications from twin district administrations said.
Due to the KSRTC staff bus strike that will begin on Sunday July 24 midnight, the transport system in the state will be affected. But as Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts have wider private bus network than the KSRTC service, the impact of the strike on these two districts will t be minimal.
The administrations have appealed to teaching and non-teaching staffs of schools, colleges and students to use private buses and transport. The communications from both the district administration said that the schools and colleges will remain open on Monday.
KSRTC has 23,000 buses with 1.25 lac employees and it carries more than 1.5 crore passengers every day.
