In response to a letter by a Class 8 student of Telangana, Chief justice of India NV Ramana recently intervened to restore bus services to a village. P Vaishnavi, a resident of Chidedu village in Rangareddy district, had written to the CJI seeking his help in the restoration of bus service, which was stopped in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic.

Vaishnavi had said in her letter that she and her siblings were facing inconvenience to go to school and college due to the lack of bus facility. She noted that her friends and other villagers were also facing difficulty due to the absence of bus service.

Vaishnavi, whose father passed away due to cardiac arrest during the first wave of COVID, said that she was unable to bear the autorickshaw charges for travel.

After being informed by the CJI, the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) restored the bus service to the Chidedu village.
