Activists Accuse TGSRTC of Hiding Financial Data
Some people who use the Right to Information (RTI) law to ask for details say that the TGSRTC, which runs buses in Telangana, is not sharing information about its money.
They say the TGSRTC has not answered their questions for four years and is hiding details about how much money it makes and spends.
The TGSRTC says it has answered most questions and that the government has paid most of the money it owes for a free bus scheme for women.
The activists also say the government owes the TGSRTC a lot of money, which is why the accounts are not being made public.
The TGSRTC says it will check the specific complaints.
Activists allege TGSRTC is withholding financial data and not responding to RTI applications for four years.
TGSRTC management claims most RTI applications have been answered and 80% of Mahalakshmi scheme dues have been paid.
Activists claim the government owes the TGSRTC ₹2,700 crore, affecting financial benefits for employees and retirees.
The union demands the government clear all pending dues and release account statements to the public.
TGSRTC officials say they will verify the specific complaints made by the activists.
