MSRTC to scrap 72 end-of-life Shivshahi & Shivneri buses
With the Pune division of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation deciding to scrap 72 unserviceable and end-of-life Shivshahi and Shivneri buses, these buses will be auctioned on Friday, March 21, through the Metal Scrap Trade Corporation, a central government agency. Pramod Nehul, MSRTC Pune divisional controller, said, “The auction process has been initiated for scrapping 72 unserviceable Shivneri and Shivshahi buses at the MSRTC Pune office on March 21.” “Scrapping end-of-life buses is a regular process. The move comes after transport minister Pratap Sarnaik directed that all end-of-life and unserviceable buses at bus stations across the state be scrapped by April 15 following the recent instance of sexual assault at the Swargate bus stand. At the rear of the MSRTC Pune divisional office located on Shankarsheth Road, a short distance from Swargate bus stand, 72 end-of-life and unserviceable Shivshahi and Shivneri buses are lying idle for the past year.
