In sharp contrast to the Congress government’s claims that the free bus travel scheme was making things convenient for women, many, particularly students are facing several issues as TGRTC staff is not permitting them to board the buses, citing heavy rush.
This is what happened at Parthipuram here on
Friday. Several school and college girls squatted on the road as the TGRTC drivers did not stop the buses to enable the students reach Ieeja.
In protest against the TGRTC staff attitude, the students, majority of whom are from government schools and colleges, raised slogans against the government and corporation.
