Hundreds of schoolgirls belonging to various schools spread across the length and breadth of Hyderabad have now decided to voice their concerns about the treatment meted out to them by errant bus conductors employed by the APSRTC and petition the police and APSRTC higher ups in this regard..........
More than 200 girl students belonging to one school in the older areas of the city have decided to come together on a common platform and draft a petition and a slew of letters addressed to both the commissioner of police as well as the managing director of the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation.......
These letters will narrate our litany of woes in explicit detail and highlight the shame and humiliation that we are subjected to on a daily basis by these unrepentant and incorrigible conductors, one of the students drafting these letters goes on to say, these letters are being addressed to the higher authorities as our complaints to the local police station have been both disregarded and summarily dismissed.........
We not only have to put up with the derisive, highly objectionable and sexist remarks of the conductors but also bear the brunt of the local police authorities callous indifference and utter disdain towards our plight, now sample this as a sterling example of the police's disdain towards their plight; "Is it really possible for a bus conductor to beat up a schoolgirl and push her out of a moving bus in broad daylight", Bahadurpura sub Inspector of police Veera Babu counter questions........
"The complaints filed by the girls were too general in nature and did not give details about the offending bus conductor and this is why the police could not initiate any action whatsoever on the girl's complaint", he adds and even goes on to challenge the veracity and authenticity of these very same complaints........
The higher ups have however not shown scant regard for these slew of complaints and assured the long suffering girls that suitable action will be initiated against the culprits; "all we need is the bus route number, date and time of offence. We will zero in on the culprit and take such exemplary action that such instances are not repeated", APSRTC regional manager Venkateshwar Rao said, the DCP (South Zone) Tarun Joshi seconded his comments and assured the girls of speedy and timely action against all the culprits........
As things stand, the hapless girls and the concerned school authorities have no other choice other than accepting these assurances at face value and waiting for the higher ups to make good their assurances and promises in this regard...........
