Tovino Thomas leads voter turnout as Kerala polls heat up
Actor Tovino Thomas casts his vote in Thrissur as Kerala records impressive voter turnout. Key constituencies see fierce electoral battles in the second phase of Lok Sabha elections.
In a relief for commuters, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) would restart the inter-state bus service to Kerala from July 12. It is to be noted that inter-state bus services were suspended due to Covid-induced lockdown, an official said on Thursday.
“With the easing of restrictions under unlock 3.0 since July 5 on movement of people and vehicles to and from neighbouring states, we have decided to resume our bus service to cities and towns across Kerala,” a corporation official said in a statement.
However, the corporation has made a 72-hour negative test report mandatory for passengers coming into Karnataka from Kerala. Moreover, a passenger who has received even one dose of the vaccine should carry its certificate before boarding our inter-state buses, the official added.

The COVID-19 second wave forced the state-run KSRTC to suspend the inter-state bus services.
Services will resume from Bengaluru, Mangaluru, Mysuru, and Puttur in the state to select places in Kerala, and the passengers will have to follow COVID-19 protocols.
Inter-state travellers will have to wear a face mask and maintain physical distance during the journey.
