Market. A daughter raised her voice against the high-handedness of the HRTC bus driver and the result was that the driver has now been suspended. Due to the arbitrariness of the driver, the student’s safety was also put in danger and then she had to walk five kilometers home. The matter is Sarkaghat in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh.
Actually, a schoolgirl from Sarkaghat had made a video regarding this matter and raised questions on the functioning of the driver and the management. The student alleged in the video that due to the arbitrariness of the driver, the bus did not go to the designated place and due to this she had to go home on foot through the forest paths. As soon as the student shared the video, it went viral.
The private school student made the video in school dress and said that the bus left from Sarkaghat on Pandol route at 5 pm. However, the driver stopped the bus at Bagadaglu saying that the bus is big and cannot go beyond this. The student says that among the passengers going ahead were two-three school students and they had to walk about 5 kilometers to reach their home in Jhanjhal at around 8 pm. This video viral on social media is from last Saturday evening.
The student raised a question and said that if the bus was big then had similar buses never been sent on this route before? The schoolgirl has also alleged that even while going to school in the morning, the bus does not arrive on this route as per the scheduled time table. Due to which they are getting late in reaching school every day. When they put this problem before the corporation management, instead of a solution, they hear something else from the officers and employees sitting there. After the video went viral, the corporation management swung into action and suspended the driver with immediate effect and started further investigation.
