Thiruvananthapuram: Transport minister KB Ganesh Kumar here on Wednesday declared that the government will stop the operation of all unprofitable services of the Kerala State Transport Corporation soon. He was addressing the media after assuming his office at the secretariat.
“ All unprofitable services of KSRTC will be stopped. Public representatives should not be disappointed by this decision. Necessary action will be taken to solve the woes of the public.
