No basic facilities at Exposition for KTC staff

As per an official in the Exposition Secretariat Committee, the latter category of staff had given their list of requirements while the KTC staff did not. At least from humanitarian point of view, without being asked and seeing that the transport staff is suffering, the Committee could have extended facilities similar to that arranged for the police and traffic personnel. There is still time to rectify the situation since the Exposition continues till January 5, 2025. The transport staff would be thankful and bless the Committee for their act of kindness.
