Harassment to the serving war wounded officer
(Colonel rk chauhan) in bus no hr 69 b 6600 while
Travelling from zirakpur to ambala cantt on the
Night of 09/10 sep 16

Dear sir,

1. This is to inform you that i, colonel rk chauhan is a war wounded officer with below knee amputation of left limb. This injury was sustained while undertaking an anti-militant operation in j&k in the year 2007. Presently i am posted at hq 2 corps (Ambala).

2. This is to inform you that i was travelling in my vehicle from chandigarh to ambala and my vehicle got off road at zirakpur at around 2300hrs on 09 sep 16, i left the vehicle at my friends place and thought of travelling in a bus to ambala cantt. So at around i took a haryana roadways bus (Bus no hr 69 b 6600) from zirakpur. As luck would have it, the bus was full & i was only the person who was standing at that point of time. As i was on prosthesis & was finding difficulty to stand in the bus, so as the conductor approached me for ticket, i requested him that i have a problem and there is a seat (Seat no 4/5) in the bus which is meant for the handicap person. He said that he can’t do anything and told me that he is also standing. My problem is not that i was not given the seat but the point is that isn’t it the responsibility of the conductor to give him the seat in case he is handicap person? This irresponsible behavior of the conductor was shocking, i told him then in that case i will report this matter to your higher authorities, as per him he said do whatever you want to do.

3.in view of this, may i request you to kindly investigate the matter at your end, so that similar case doesn’t happen again in your bus. Action taken may please me intimated to me on the above mentioned address. Thanking you for your act of kindness.

(Rk chauhan)
