The Story in Brief
The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) on August 10 handed over Rs 50 lakh in insurance assistance to the family of bus driver Md Mudar, who lost a leg in an accident last year. The cheque was presented by TGSRTC Vice-Chairman Y Naga Reddy along with Union Bank of India officials at Bus Bhavan in Hyderabad.
Mudar, attached to the Korutla depot, met with the accident on October 9, 2025, when his bus rammed into a parked lorry near Kukunoorpally around 4.15 am. The financial assistance came through a free accident insurance cover linked to the UBI super salary savings account held by all TGSRTC employees. Corporation officials said 27 families of RTC staff have so far benefited from the scheme.
The Indian Opinion
The TGSRTC's quick payout is a rare good news story about a public corporation standing by its worker. But the narrative that the government is generous ignores a basic fact: the driver lost his leg while driving a bus that hit a parked lorry on a bridge. Road safety audits and better infrastructure might have prevented the accident. The real test is not the cheque but how many such crashes are avoidable. Will the corporation now push for safer highways?
