Bengaluru: A large number of people gathered at Majestic Bus Terminal here on Saturday morning to travel back to their respective home states during the coronavirus-induced lockdown.
A majority of them are the migrant labourers who were rendered jobless after the imposition of lockdown in March to check the spread of coronavirus. "We were working as labourers in the city.
From the past many weeks, we were unable to earn anything because of the lockdown. We are surviving without food. At this point of time, they are charging us double and triple for the tickets.
This is literally harassment," said a commuter. "Earlier, we used to pay ₹500-600 from Bengaluru to Raichur. Now, the KSRTC is charging us ₹1,400.
