Employees of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) are planning to stage a sit-in protest at Bengaluru's Freedom Park from 11:00 Sept. 4. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand alleged back pay. The number of people who may participate in the protest was not immediately clear.
Authorities will likely deploy to the scene to monitor the protest. Transport disruptions will likely affect the vicinity of the rally; additionally, the demonstration may disrupt the provision of KSRTC road transport services in Bengaluru. Localized business disruptions are possible. Clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.

Reconfirm transport schedules and allow extra time to travel in Bengaluru during the protest. Adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
