लखीमपुर और गोला डिपो के बस कंडेक्टरों और ड्राइवरों की मनमानी

Buses of Lakhimpur and Gola depot are not stopping seeing the Divyang

One to two hours continue to show their hand, even if the bus stops, the harassment is going on

Lakhimpur and Gola depots in Uttar Pradesh were previously notorious for misbehaving with MST holders, now becoming even more infamous for bus drivers and conductors of officers' patronage and quarrelsome attitude. Day by day harassing pass holders and Divyang is becoming dear to them.

It is noteworthy that bus drivers and conductors do not stop the bus after seeing the disabled on the Sitapur to Lucknow route.


Even if the Ekka Dukka bus stops, Divyang has to suffer torture. About 80 per cent of the Lakhimpur and Gola depots do not stop looking at the Divyangs even if 10 or 15 people in the bus are empty. Transgression Divyang keeps on giving buses for one to two hours, then the bus stops somewhere.

In this regard, the handicapped Manmohan Mishra, who is going from Sidhauli to Lucknow, told that he travels by bus from Lucknow to Purnia Tirahe near the railway station of Sidhauli at 12.30 pm, he hands over the buses for about 1 to 2 hours but Lakhimpur Or the spherical buses are not stopped on seeing them. Only a few buses stop which conductors or drivers do not recognize them. When they are identified, they stop stopping. Manmohan Mishra explains that the same happens in Sidhauli return from Lucknow. From 10 pm to 12 pm, there is also a Puraniya at Tirahe where the pass holders and the Divyang continue to show hands but even after the buses are empty the drivers and conductors do not stop the bus.

Manmohan Mishra says that now only the buses of Sitapur depot stop, which was not complained to Vimal Rajan, ARM of Sitapur depot, after which the buses started stopping after his intervention. But waiting for buses from only one depot is very difficult in terms of time.

Manmohan Mishra said that the drivers and conductors of roadways buses of Lakhimpur and Gola have complained to the Chief Minister Helpline (Jansunwai Uttar Pradesh) on 11 December 2019, after being harassed for many months by not stopping the misbehavior and buses whose complaint number 40015419056289 is.

It is noteworthy that many facilities have been provided to the differently abled in Uttar Pradesh for transportation. But how much the drivers and conductors of the bus execute them is not hidden from anyone. The cases of taking away the bus on sight of the Divyang, even if he sits in the bus, making fun of Hikrat or misbehaving and almost snatching the pass, has been making the headlines of newspapers and social media for years, if the Divyang related If the person in charge of the depot complains to RM or ARM, he is merely assuring his duty. This act of RM, ARM, bus driver and conductor is a violation of sections 92 and 95 of the Divyang Act 2016. It has a provision for punishment and fine.

It is not only the government's responsibility to provide transport facilities to the differently abled, for this the depot's RM and ARM are also made. But when he does not listen, then who should Divyang complain? He will seek help from the government after all the disputes. The Constitution of India ensures equality, freedom, justice and dignity for all its citizens and clearly emphasizes on creating a united society including persons with disabilities. But why are the bus drivers and conductors of Lakhimpur and Gola depots not implementing this? Who has ordered them not to provide the transport facility provided by the Uttar Pradesh government to the differently-abled. This is the subject of investigation.

Answer: In the guidelines of the Department of Disability, it is clearly mentioned that the bus conductor of the Transport Corporation will provide the facility of travel to the destination after seeing the disability certificate, disability pass, to the person with disabilities. But the bus is falling heavily on the arbitrary disabilities of drivers and conductors. Now it has to be seen whether the Chief Minister's Office or Uttar Pradesh Disability Empowerment Department issues orders to complain about this disability.
