This is a petition filed for remedial action to improve the number of services/public transport facilities between Thrissur and Ernakulam. With regard to that prayer, we direct the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation to consider running of more buses in the route concerned. Second prayer is that objections were filed on the draft notification issued before finalising the route. We are sure that respondents will consider the objections before finalising the notification and, therefore, a separate direction is not necessary. In any event, respondents shall consider the objections also while passing order. There is no ground for issuing an order of stay of final notification. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
