Transport Dept. union seeks restoration of 4,000 bus services ‘cancelled in last five years’ in Andhra Pradesh
The HinduLeaders of the Andhra Pradesh Public Transport Department Employees Union have urged Transport Minister M. Ramprasad Reddy to address the issues faced by the public transport sector employees. Pointing out that 4,000 bus services in various routes across the State had been cancelled in the last five years, they demanded their restoration and adequate financial assistance to buy new buses to be added to the APSRTC’s fleet. They sought repayment of the ₹70 crore recovered from employees’ payments towards their Provident Fund and ₹60 crore under the employee’s Credit Cooperative Society. They said that before the APSRTC employees’ merger with the Public Transport Department, they were extended medical services through referral hospitals, which, after the merger, was replaced with the “ineffective” Employees Health Scheme.
