Tempers rise on second day of stir as RTC calls for temporary driver applications

As the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) workers’ stir entered its second day on Thursday, the State road transport undertaking grappled with a worker attempting to harm himself, even as it sought to fill massive gaps in service by operating all its hire buses and electric buses.

Shankar Goud, a driver from Narasampet, set himself on fire, while protesting a delay in the absorption of workers with the government. He was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
