Distancing norms not followed in buses: HC staff
19/05/2020, LEGAL CORRESPONDENT, CHENNAI
Madras High Court staff have complained about non-adherence to physical distancing norms in special buses being operated for transporting them from various areas in the city to their workplace during the ongoing lockdown.
They said the bus operated on the HC-Avadi route on Monday was crowded, with no seats vacant and some passengers standing close to each other.
The court administration had made it clear that not more than 30 passengers would be allowed in each bus, and it was compulsory for the staff to wear masks while travelling. They had also been instructed to follow distancing norms. “In reality, these norms are not being followed. The bus in which I travelled this morning was crowded. Only two buses are being operated on the Tambaram-HC route. This must be doubled to reduce the crowd,” a staff member said.
