Bus services were hit in Karnataka for the third consecutive day today, as the stalemate between the employees of the road transport corporations, who are on an indefinite strike on wage related issues, and the state government continued. With the government on Thursday evening reiterating that it was not possible to fulfil their demand for the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission report, RTC employees have decided to continue with the strike. As employees belonging to all the four transport corporations did not attend duty, buses continued to remain off the roads across the state, including Bengaluru, affecting daily commuters. Passengers travelling to and from distant areas and office-goers were the most affected.
