Two bus drivers from MSRTC got into trouble because they used their phones while driving. One driver, Namdev Yadav, was even fired right away because he was watching a cricket match while driving near a place called Lonavala on March 22.
After people found out about this, MSRTC looked into what happened. They saw that the driver wasn't being safe, which could put passengers in danger. MSRTC has strict rules that say drivers can't use phones or any devices while they're driving. This is to keep everyone safe.
Another driver was reported by a man named Nitin Godbole, who told the Chief Minister's Office. This made MSRTC take quick action against the second driver who was also using his phone while driving. After looking into it, MSRTC decided to suspend this driver too. This shows that they don't allow any safety mistakes.
On March 23, MSRTC sent a notice to the bus company and fined them ₹5,000 for breaking the rules. This shows that they're serious about keeping drivers safe and making sure they follow the rules.
MSRTC is planning to make even stronger rules to stop these problems from happening again. They want to ensure drivers are careful and follow safety rules. This is all to keep passengers safe and make sure drivers act in a good way while driving their buses.
