Bengaluru: Thousands of passengers were affected by the Mysuru bandh called in protest against the murder of BJP activist Raju.
South-Western Railway officials said that though the train services were not affected, the passengers found it difficult to find transport to reach their destinations from the railway station.
“Occupancy of both inbound and outbound from Mysuru was low because of the bandh,” an officer said. KSRTC officials said that buses were cancelled, leading to a loss of Rs 43.99 lakh. Protesters damaged the windshields of two Volvo buses, while no other incident of damage to buses was reported.
Tourist operators also complained that they incurred losses as vehicles and tourists were stopped on the outskirts of Mysuru.
