The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has taken action against two bus drivers for using their mobile phones while driving. One of the drivers, Namdev Yadav, was caught watching a cricket match during his route near Lonavala on March 22.

This situation raises big questions about how drivers are responsible for the safety of passengers. After looking into what happened, MSRTC officials decided that Yadav was driving recklessly. Because of this, he was fired from his job. This shows that MSRTC is serious about keeping everyone safe and making sure drivers act professionally.

Another driver was found using his phone while driving too. This made the Chief Minister's Office step in to help fix the problem. The quick action shows that the government cares about safety in transportation and wants to make sure it's taken seriously.

MSRTC also sent a formal notice to the company running the bus service and fined them ₹5,000 for breaking rules about using phones while driving. This fine is meant to stop drivers from doing the same thing again and to show that there are strict rules in place.

These events have led MSRTC to think carefully about their safety rules and how they operate. They want to make sure passengers feel safe and trust that the drivers will do their jobs correctly.

These suspensions send a strong message that safety is very important.

MSRTC is also thinking about new ways to monitor drivers and provide better training to stop this from happening again. They want to keep improving their services to ensure that passengers are always safe and secure.
