Example Sentence: The cash-strapped Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is heading towards another crisis with Biju Prabhakar, the chairman and managing director of the public utility, announcing that he will step down… The Corporation has often been in the midst of controversy as trade unions have repeatedly opposed its proposed reforms. This time, the public utility has grabbed headlines for a different reason.
