Normalcy back in Udupi

UDUPI: The second day of the nationwide 48-hour strike evoked poor response in Udupi.
Bus services, both private and KSRTC, resumed on Thursday and it was business as usual at majority of the shops and restaurants in the city. The attendance of employees in banks and other government offices were less. Some of the schools and colleges were opened on Thursday and all single screen movie theatres in city too functioned normally on Thursday.
In the morning, a few supporters of the strike engaged in arguments with bus drivers on highway routes for resuming service. The day went uneventful otherwise.
