After a worst hit of seven months,Tamil Nadu on Wednesday resumed bus services to Karnataka ahead of the festive weekend. The passengers can now travel between the two States by buses without e-registration, between November 11 and 16, said an order issued by the government. “Government buses of both States recommenced on Wednesday evening.
The services are being operated to facilitate transportation of people keeping in view the Deepavali demand,” said K Elangovan, Managing Director of the State Express Transport Corporation (SETC). Private omni bus operators were also given the go ahead to resume their services due to the festive week. The intra-state bus services were resumed a few months ago,but the buses bound for Bengaluru were stopped at the State border. The passengers had to change buses at the border, to reach their destination.
Tamil Nadu had allowed bus services to its another neighbour Puducherry as well. However, officials said that operations to other neighbouring States of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Kerala will remain suspended until further orders as the number of cases in those states are comparatively high than Karntaka and Puducherry.
