Meanwhile, chairman of the transport committee Balya Borkar told that seven conductors caught in the case of ticket theft and have been suspended. He further informed that in case a conductor is found involved in ticket theft, he will be expelled from his job. In order to reduce losses, it is necessary to stop the mismanagement of tickets.

Chairman Borkar has appealed that after giving money to the conductor, passengers should ask for tickets. In case of refusal to give tickets, contact the transport department of the NMC.
