Hyderabad: The management of Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) has announced that a child born at Karimnagar bus station will receive a lifetime free bus pass for travel on their buses.

This decision aligns with the previous policy of granting lifetime free bus passes to children born on RTC buses and bus stations.

On Wednesday, the TGSRTC management congratulated the staff at Hyderabad Bus Bhavan for their humanitarian efforts in assisting a pregnant woman experiencing pelvic pain at Karimnagar bus station. TGSRTC MD VC Sajjanar, along with top officials, honoured the staff for their commendable actions.
