W&CD Minister Yashomati Thakur demands for special buses for women


@nag228

Mumbai: Women and Child Development Minister, Yashomati Thakur in a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister, Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday demanded starting special bus service for women as well as additional bus service for officers and employees of government, semi-government and private establishments for commuting due to the limited frequency of the suburban local trains where access is only for those classified as essential service providers. As a result office goers are facing many problems daily in commuting to and from office.

Advocate Thakur has written a letter to the CM in this regard. In the letter she said that the ongoing lockdown in the entire state has been relaxed. Officers and employees of government, private establishments in all essential services, especially women, are required to be present in the office or their place of duty.

The Central Government has provided the facility of passes with QR code for traveling by railways. However, QR code passes are not issued to most officers and employees. So alternatively, they have to travel by public transport bus which is running with limited frequency. Due to the limited frequency of the buses, a large number of commuters, especially women, have to wait for hours in long queues. Even if one gets to enter the bus, many times they have to travel standing.

Women have to take care of their house as well as their profession also these days due to the beginning of the unlock everyone is seen rushing to reach their offices or work place in time.

“Women have to wait for 2-3 hours every day to board the bus and even after getting in the bus, another two three hours are wasted due to traffic jams.  Sometimes they have to travel standing if there is no vacant seat in the bus. Especially in the city, it is very difficult to reach by bus. There is also a need to increase the number of buses in view of the crowding in the bus. Therefore, it is necessary to provide special bus service for women as well as additional bus service for officers and employees of government and private establishments,” said Adv. Thakur in her letter to the CM.
