Justice Prevails: Man Wins Case Against KSRTC After Being Expelled for Homemade Oil

Deivasigamani found himself in a distressing situation when he and his family were ousted from a KSRTC bus during a journey from Villupuram to Bengaluru due to carrying a 15-litre can of homemade organic cooking oil. Despite the humiliating ordeal, he persevered, seeking legal redress for the injustice he suffered. Ten months later, justice was served as a consumer court penalized KSRTC and the bus conductor with a fine of Rs 1 lakh for service deficiency. Recalling the incident, Deivasigamani recounted how the conductor demanded an exorbitant "luggage charge" for the oil, ultimately forcing him off the bus. The altercation escalated to the involvement of law enforcement at the Kandachipuram police station, where attempts were made to reason with the conductor regarding the innocuous nature of groundnut oil. However, the situation remained unresolved as higher authorities reinforced the ban on unsealed oil aboard the bus. Refusing to abandon the oil, Deivasigamani opted

TNSTC Bus Conductor Falls Out Along with Seat: Tiruchy Incident Raises Safety Concerns

In an incident that sounds straight out of a comedy sketch, a TNSTC bus conductor named Murugesan (54) found himself taking an unexpected detour when he fell from a government bus in Tiruchy, accompanied by the seat he was occupying. As the bus meandered its way from the Tiruchy bus stand to K.K. Nagar, the mundane journey took a comical twist near Kalaiyarangam Hall, where the conductor decided to test the laws of gravity by exiting the bus mid-ride. Eyewitnesses, initially stunned by the spectacle, later reported that Murugesan, true to his role as a seasoned performer, escaped with nothing more than minor injuries. His impromptu act of falling from the bus, seat in tow, left onlookers chuckling and scratching their heads in equal measure. Despite TNSTC officials' initial attempts to sweep the incident under the rug, evidence in the form of photographic documentation forced them to acknowledge the reality of the situation.

According to police sources, Subin clarified that he was seated at the rear of the bus and was oblivious to the events unfolding outside. He further testified that Mayor's husband, K M Sachin Dev MLA, boarded the bus at Palayam but did not engage in any verbal altercation or coerce passengers to disembark.

TNSTC Trichy Takes Action Against Employees After Conductor Falls from Moving Bus

The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) in the Trichy region has initiated disciplinary action against three employees following an incident where a conductor fell from a moving bus along with a detached seat. The bus, which was en route from Srirangam to KK Nagar, is affiliated with the Dheeran Nagar depot. Notices have been issued to the branch manager, assistant engineer, and a technician at the depot to provide explanations regarding the circumstances leading to the incident. While the management initially hesitated to acknowledge that a conductor was ejected from the moving bus along with a seat, senior officials attributed the incident to the poor condition of SBI Main Road near the Central bus stand, where the incident occurred. According to a senior TNSTC official, the presence of a massive pothole on the road may have caused the conductor to lose balance and fall from the bus. An inquiry has been initiated to thoroughly investigate the incident and implement
