The news is that the interstate buses came to a grinding halt on Tuesday due to this strike. It is worthy to note that about 430 buses (350 buses from Salem division and 80 buses from Villupuram division) were stopped at Hosur in Krishnagiri without moving towards Karnataka. What was surprising was that the private buses and KSRTC buses ran usually from Hosur to Karnataka.
Town buses plying from Hosur to Attibele in Karnataka (buses that were operated by TNSTC) ran only till Karnataka border. Many passengers were unhappy that they had to walk about 2kms to get into the buses to go to Karnataka. There were some passengers who hired autos also.
