The minister also inaugurated KSRTC’s in-house blanket washing plant which is first of its kind in State Road Transport Corporations. All these days, KSRTC had been outsourcing the blanket washing which had poor quality of service, improper delivery, high cost and poor customer feedback. Hence to enhance the passenger comfort and to ensure hygiene this initiative was taken. Using the machineries about 7200 blankets will be washed by 24 workers in 3 shifts.
Managing Director, KSRTC, Mr N.Manjunath Prasad presided the event.
