THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Transport Minister N. Sakthan has convened a meeting of the KSRTC unions, which have served strike notice, at the Secretariat tomorrow noon in a bid to avert the proposed strike from midnight tomorrow. The joint action council of the KSRTC, which is spearheading the action, has in the meantime announced its resolve to go ahead with the strike. It said here on Tuesday that even though the action was to press seven demands, it was prepared to abandon it if one of them was conceded. It involved the withdrawal of the Government's decision to not only legalise the unauthorised permits obtained by private bus operators to operate services in 32 nationalised routes (Supplementation scheme) but also allow 10 km of overlapping for each permit. The action council pointed out that the law was against allowing permits for private buses along nationalised routes. But the private bus operators had obtained numerous permits over the years by exerting various kinds of pressures and by misleading the State transport authority.
