Attack on APSRTC driver sparks furore, employees’ unions seek immediate arrest of perpetrators

The incident of a few persons physically attacking and injuring a driver of the AP State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) bus at Kavali on Thursday has sparked public furore.

A video showing the driver being thrashed up by a group of persons has gone viral. Strongly condemning the attack on RTC driver B.R. Singh, while he was driving Bengaluru-to-Vijayawada super luxury bus (AP 16Z 0702), leaders of Andhra Pradesh Public Transport Department (APPTD- erstwhile APSRTC) said the Department employees would stage protests in all the 129 RTC depots across the State on Sunday (October 29) and attend their duties wearing black badges.

In a statement on Saturday (October 28), the AP PTD Employees Association president P. Damodara Rao and general secretary G.V. Narasaiah demanded immediate arrest and stringent punishment to the persons responsible for the attack on the driver while he was on duty.
