TSRTC restores bus service on CJI’s intervention

Student from Chidedu village wrote to CJI for bus service to go to school

Chief Justice of India N V Ramana intervened after a student from Chidedu village in Manchal mandal wrote to him about the need for bus services to go to school. CJI Ramana’s intervention resulted in the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) restoring services on Wednesday.

According to TSRTC Managing Director V C Sajjanar, the student is P Vaishnavi of class VIII of State government-run school. He said she wrote a letter explaining the circumstances to CJI Ramana, who in turn sent the letter to Mr Sajjanar, alerting him to restore bus services during school hours.

“We had stopped services in some areas due to COVID – 19 pandemic and the lockdown, and could not restart them for occupancy reasons. In the letter, the students said that before lockdown there were buses for them to go to school, but after lockdown there were no buses. We are thankful to the Honourable CJI for alerting us. We have restored bus services from today,” Mr Sajjanar told The Hindu, adding that the letter which Vaishnavi wrote also her siblings mentions P Praneeth, a class IX student, and P Preethi, an Intermediate first-year student.
