Deceased TGSRTC driver’s son gets job

Hyderabad The son of a Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) worker, K. Shankar Goud, who succumbed to burn injuries in April 2026, was given a letter of appointment on Thursday.

Mr. Prabhakar appreciated the effort of the TGSRTC employees to raise funds for Mr. Goud’s family. He said that the Telangana goverment was committed to help TGSRTC workers and that the letter of appointment was a part of its responsibility.
