Thiruvananthapuram: Leaders of the Fraternity Movement have submitted a petition to Transport Minister C.P. John, urging the government to intervene in resolving students’ concerns related to bus concessions, including the issue of excessive charges. They demanded the establishment of a dedicated Complaint Authority and a Toll Free Number specifically for students to report instances of widespread overcharging and disrespectful behaviour by bus operators. They also called for extending concessions to more routes within KSRTC, including inter-state corridors, which are used daily by hundreds of students. Furthermore, the leaders requested the Minister to convene a meeting of student organizations to discuss matters related to the difficulties faced by students during travel. The delegation that submitted the petition included State General Secretary Basit Banur, Vice Presidents Ameen Riyas, K.M. Sabir Ahsan, and other leaders Ashiq Nisar, Lameeh, and Basim.
