The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has offered lifelong free travel to two babies born in its buses.
TSRTC Vice Chairman and Managing Director V C Sajjanar said that it was a proud moment for the corporation to bring two lives onto the planet on its buses, and that the two baby girls born on moving TSRTC buses would receive free lifetime passes from the corporation as their "birthday" gifts.
While the first girl was born on November 30 near Peddakothapally village in a bus belonging to the Nagarkurnool depot, another woman gave birth to a girl on the afternoon of December 7 near Siddipet in a bus belonging to the Asifabad depot.
These two women unexpectedly went into labour on the way to their respective destinations, and the TSRTC crew and fellow passengers helped them deliver their babies.
Later, the TSRTC crew coordinated with officials of the health department and rushed the mothers and newborns to the nearby government hospitals in 108 ambulances for further treatment.
The mothers and daughters are said to be doing well.
