Political parties, barring the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and several organisations jointly staged a protest in the city on Thursday opposing the hike in travel fares on private buses and also, the decision by the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) to allow it without conducting a public hearing. The Communist Party of India (Marxists), the Communist Party of India, the Congress, the Janata Dal (Secular), the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) and Dalit organisations took part in the protest near the Clock Tower. The protesters urged Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra to keep the fares thus hiked in abeyance and conduct a public hearing immediately. They said that the RTA has taken a unilateral decision in the matter.More Related News
