The loss will be recovered from the employees of three KSRTC depots in Thiruvananthapuram. They had boycotted duty on June 26. Action has been taken against the employees of Pappanamcode, Vikas Bhavan and Peroorkada depots. The money will be recovered from 49 drivers and 69 conductors. In addition, on July, 2021, eight employees from the Parassala depot were absent for duty in protest against the implementation of spread over duty.
