Kerala RTC Courier Service Faces Shutdown Risk
The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) used to run a successful courier service.
Last year, the government gave this service to a company called Sinku Solutions from Andhra.
Now, things aren't going well, and the service might shut down.
Employees are told not to take new orders but to finish the ones already taken.
The government thought this would make things better, but employees are worried about their jobs.
KSRTC's courier service, once profitable, is now in disarray.
Operations were handed over to Sinku Solutions in September 2023.
New bookings are halted, and only existing deliveries are being completed.
Employees are concerned about job stability and potential losses.
The contract with Sinku Solutions is likely to be cancelled.
