An auto driver from Sangareddy, Dappu Balaraj, was found dead in Kandi lake after reportedly facing financial hardship linked to the State’s free bus travel scheme for women. Police have launched an investigation into the incident.
Though the Congress government launched free RTC bus travel for women, fewer buses are plying on the city roads. Here women, mostly students, are forced to wait for a bus for long hours at the busy Himayatnagar.
