The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation which hit the recent headlines for an indefinite strike that has been called off after a serious warning from the High Court has unveiled its master stroke new to the public. As the RTC employees demand of hiking their fitment to 43% has been granted with an additional 1 %, the TSRTC is all set to hike the ticket rates.
The hiked rates are said to be effective from the Telangana Formation day that is June 2nd or later. It seems the hike of the rate will be at least 15% which is definitely a huge burden to the common man. This step has been taken to meet the requirement of hiked salaries which is a burden of Rs 500 crores to the government.
Not only the fitment but also the increase in diesel rates is forcing the TSRTC to hike the ticket rates. According to sources, Andhra Pradesh has been marked May 20th as the official separation of the RTC.
