RTA Cracks Down on Private Buses After Kurnool Tragedy
The Road Transport Authority (RTA) and police have launched a statewide crackdown on private travel buses to enhance passenger safety.
Teams examined emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and window glass breakers, besides checking permits, licences, and luggage compartments for illegal or flammable items.
- 28 cases were booked for unauthorised structural changes
- 11 cases for blocked emergency exits
- 2 cases for cracked windshields
- 2 cases for lack of fire extinguishers
Officials also seized six buses for serious violations.
The focus of the drive was on verifying emergency exits, a key factor in the Kurnool accident, where jammed doors caused multiple deaths.
