In Thiruvananthapuram, Tamil Nadu authorities halted Bengaluru-bound buses citing issues with the One India One Tax policy, leading to passengers being stranded at midnight in Nagercoil. Most affected passengers, including students, were Malayalis, instructed to find alternative transport. Recent cancellations of inter-state bus services between Kerala and Tamil Nadu have sparked inconvenience, attributed to disputes over tax payments under the unified tax scheme.
Bus operators argue taxes were paid as per regulations, while Tamil Nadu MVD demands higher taxes for vehicles not registered in Tamil Nadu.
