Bus services between Maharashtra and Karnataka paused Dispute between two states related to boundaries, languages


Pune, 25 Feb (HS):-

The bus services between Maharashtra and Karnataka remained affected for the

fifth consecutive day. The boundary disputes between the two states have led to a linguistic rift. The drivers not able to speak Kannada are not allowed in Karnataka. In response, Maharashtra protesters are not allowing Karnataka State Transport

buses to enter Maharashtra.

The buses leaving

from Swargate Bus Stand Pune are returning from Kolhapur. The Maharashtra State

Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) buses at Karnataka’s Chitradurg Bus Stand

were vandalized. The faces of the drivers blackened for their inability to speak

Kannada language. The action was taken by the Karnataka Navnirman Sena. In

response Shiv Sena (UBT) workers did not allow the Karnataka Transport Buses to

enter Maharashtra territory. Both the states have stopped the inter-state

transport services posing serious problems for the commuters. Heavy police

force has been deployed on the boundaries.

The paused bus

services will restart after the dispute is resolved.
