TGSRTC Offers Job to Son of Deceased Conductor Shankar Goud

The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) has provided a job to the son of conductor Shankar Goud, who died by self-immolation on April 23 during the RTC statewide strike.

Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar handed over the appointment letter to Shankar Goud's son as Record Treasurer on Thursday.

The Minister said that, following the directions of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, the government and RTC had provided compensation to the bereaved family



and extended full support to it.

He said RTC employees across Telangana had also come forward to support the family by contributing their one-day salary, amounting to nearly Rs. 1 crore.

Ponnam Prabhakar said the government was deploying additional buses to meet the growing passenger demand following the implementation of the free bus travel scheme for women. Steps were also being taken to procure new buses and modernise bus stations to improve passenger convenience.
