Kasargod:Private Bus Operators Association of Kasargod have threatened to suspend bus services if the authorities do not take immediate steps to repair the bad roads.

Speaking to reporters here,  the representatives of the Bus Operators’ Association pointed out that  most of the roads of the district including the Tekkil-Aletti, Kumble-Badiadka, Badiadka-Mulleria, Seetangaoli-Perla, Madhur-Mannippady, Kumble-Kalattur-Kattatadka, Pilankatta-Agalpady, Ethadka-Kinningaru, Vidyanagar-Seetangaoli, Mulleria-Natekal-Bellur  are in dire straits. The same is the condition of roads in Hosadurga taluk, they said adding the  bus operators were finding it difficult to run buses on such roads.

Referring to the rule making it mandatory for buses to have speed governors, they said there was no facility to  repair speed governors and also  spare parts were unavailable in the district. It was also an additional burden on bus operators, they said  and at the same time sought more time to install speed governors.

B.C. Madhusudan, District President of the Association, VM Sripathi, PA Mohammad and other office bearers were present.
