| Address: New Delhi, Delhi |
Today i.e 27th Oct 2014 morning at about 4:30 AM I boardedin a Haryana Roadways Bus reg. No. HR-45B, 9777. (Chandigarh-Delhi Route) atChandigarh Bus stand. The bus was fully packed so there was no vacant seat.However I saw a young girl sitting at about bonnet (next to driver seat), Idecided to sit with her.
After about 15 minutes, I realized some offensive touch nearmy stomach; I was shocked and immediately went through fear and anger to realizethat this was drivers hand there. At first, I ignored thinking that this couldbe by mistake; however after experiencing it repeatedly I decided to give itback to him. I suddenly shouted in anger at yet another shameful attempt ofdriver.
Driver responded like a animal when confronted. No sign ofany kind of regret or something instead he asked me to go to backside, whenagain I shouted at him, that there is no seat behind and you do your duty justto drive and not to do such cheap activities. Somehow when driver realized theanger in my voice, he stopped.
When I shouted, the young girl sitting with me told me thathe was doing this thing with her also. And then she also told driver to keephis hand away.
Now can you imagine what journey I was going through? Icould not even sit properly for next 4 hours in bus. Decided to Call a friendto pick me up in Delhi. A bus driver that too govt bus- who’s duty is to take passengerssafe to their destination is involved in such third class - cheaper than thecheap activities. Do you feel that the girls travelling in Govt roadways busesare safe?
Is this the punishment to be a girl in this country? If thisis the treatment given to girl by a govt bus employee, what more you canexpect.
Please take this matter seriously and request some disciplinaryaction against the driver. Funniest part is that conductor also realized thishappening but did not say even a word. Public too was silent either.
I have no words to add more. Hope there would be justice. Was this information helpful? |
