Several schools in Bengaluru (Karnataka) will remain closed on September 11 in view of the strike called by the Federation of Private Transport Associations. Some schools where transport facilities in the city depend on private vehicles have declared a holiday. The union has informed that over five thousand private schools vehicles will participate in the strike.
According to the report, there will be a ban on private vehicles from 12 o'clock tonight, which includes more than seven lakh
vehicles of more than 32 organizations. All those students and parents who rely on autos, taxis and private buses will not get transportation facilities to school on Monday, September 11.
Students and parents are advised to visit their respective schools for confirmation as some schools have declared holidays, especially in the Central Business District area, causing confusion among parents. The effect is more likely for those who use private transport instead of government transport.
