Only 121 out of 5,790 challans on Telangana RTC buses cleared in 2024; Fines over ₹1 crore pending

The Hindu  

In January this year, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation racked up 232 challans for traffic violations. Information from the Hyderabad Traffic Police obtained through a Right to Information application, filed by Kareem Ansari, shows that the public transport sector undertaking is not ‘fine’ in terms of adhering to traffic rules. In the previous year, the Traffic Police issued 5,790 challans, of which only 121 were paid, leaving an outstanding fine amount of ₹43,22,790. Problems faced by drivers While the numbers indicate the pressing need to adhere to traffic rules, those in the know pointed to the practical problems bus drivers face every day. Given the traffic conditions, the rush hour, and the pressing need to meet targets, on many occasions, it becomes difficult for drivers to stop exactly at designated bus stops.
