Wednesday, June 3 will go down in history books as the day when the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) started functioning as two separate entities in tune with the State bifurcation.
According to official sources, APSRTC and Telangana SRTC were ‘functionally-bifurcated’ and the move was marked by transfer orders being signed by those empowered to do so -- MD Nanduri Sambasiva Rao for APSRTC and Joint MD G.V. Ramana Rao for TSRTC. It is understood that over 400 promotions/transfer orders were issued on Wednesday in APSRTC, while the number varied between 150 and 250 for the TSRTC. Block-wise division of ‘Bus Bhavan’, the swank corporate headquarters here was also implemented .
