Mumbai:
Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik on Saturday ordered the suspension of the state transport buses to Karnataka after an MSRTC bus was attacked.
Mr Sarnaik said the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) bus, which was travelling from Bengaluru to Mumbai, was attacked in Chitradurga in Karnataka on Friday night by pro-Kannada activists.
They also blackened the face of driver Bhaskar Jadhav and assaulted him, the minister said.
Mr Sarnaik said the bus services won’t be resumed unless the Karnataka government makes its stand clear on the issue.
