TNSTC fined ₹3k for ignoring RTI queries

TNSTC fined ₹3k for ignoring RTI queries

Madurai:23.09.2021

The state information commission (SIC) has directed the Madurai division of the TNSTC to pay ₹3,000 to a commuter for failure to provide information to his repeated RTI pleas for more than two years. The commission also directed the TNSTC to provide the information in a week’s time.

G Jayaprakash, the commuter from Kovilpatti, Tuticorin, took a TNSTC bus from Madurai to Kovilpatti on December 22, 2018. He gave the conductor ₹500 for a ticket that cost ₹98, when he said the staff treated him very badly and humiliated him in front of many other passengers. The conductor also tried to make him get down in a dark place about 7km away from the city. There was no response to his complaints and RTI pleas to TNSTC. The TNSTC return the ₹402 balance as a cheque to Jayaprakash in August. TNN
