Two KSRTC buses were broken in stone pelting by miscreants, in the Aluva-Perumbavoor route
Stray incidents of stone pelting, including on KSRTC buses marked the State-wide dawn to dusk hartal called by Popular Front of India (PFI) on Friday, in Ernakulam district.
Police sources said the windscreen of two KSRTC buses were broken in stone pelting by miscreants, in the Aluva-Perumbavoor route. A tense situation is prevailing in the district, especially in the city suburbs where PFI enjoys considerable support.
Traffic was blocked in Palluruthy and many other areas by hartal supporters till the police arrived.
Vehicles operated in highways albeit in much lower numbers.
Along with KSRTC, Kochi Metro and ferries operated services.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
