From 264 buses on the first day, numbers crossed 1,600 by Saturday evening
Though there appears to be no resolution in sight for the ongoing strike, State road transport corporations (RTCs) were able to operate 1,626 buses on Saturday. On April 7, the first day of the strike, only 264 buses were able to offer services to passengers across Karnataka. Karnataka State Transport Corporation (KSRTC) managing director Shivyogi C. Kalasad said, “On Saturday, we operated 1,626 buses, almost double the number of Friday. It is a sign that more employees are reporting back to duty and we are hopeful that others will follow.” However, the number of buses currently operating is still a fraction of the fleet strength: prior to the strike, the four corporations were running more than 17,000 buses in the State.

Hadi later headed the radical group Inquilab Mancha and was campaigning ahead of the 2026 parliamentary election when he was shot in Dhaka. His death has triggered protests, diplomatic friction with India, and concerns over rising political violence as Bangladesh heads towards elections under an interim government.
