more-inWhat was on the minds of most people a day ahead of the bandh call on Thursday was the availability of transport. Though the employee unions of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation and the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation have said that they will be on duty, they conceded that the situation would be wholly dependent on passenger strength and security situation. Frontline staff of railways will monitor the stations and alert control room immediately in case of any problem,” the official said. Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) has already sounded commuters out the possibility of disruption in services. However, if there is any safety and security issue to both commuters and metro infrastructure and also as advised by the police, we may have to stop operations.
