Many buses were targeted, and several were damaged as a result of stone-pelting on the second day of the trade union strike on Tuesday (8 January). As many as 40 BMTC and 19 KSRTC buses were damaged including four premium buses.
In several places in Bengaluru, buses were asked to return to their depots and halt their services. The situation remained under control before miscreants pelted stones at five BMTC buses at Tavarekere. Several reports of stone pelting have also been received from Madanayakanahalli, Wilson Garden, Adugodi, Nelamangala Road and Mysore Road.
The central trade unions called a two-day nationwide strike against “repressive policies” for workers adopted by the government, reports New Indian Express.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
