Haryana Transport Department — Inappropriate environment near gurgaon bus stand at night

Address:

Gurgaon, Haryana, 160047

I am working in Gurgaon for the past 2.5 years in a well reputed MNC. Yesterday, i.e on 23rd March, my sister had a 10PM volvo booking from Gurgaon Bus Stand to Chandigarh. I am shocked at the amount of nuisance she had to undergo and how the Roadways department has not taken any safe guard measure to protect the respect of women travelling at night.
My sister reached at 9:45 PM and had to wait till 10:30PM to get a Volvo bus, and 10PM bus had got cancelled. There were drunk hooligans coming and going in front of the seating area for Volvo passengers, checking out ladies top to bottom, with disregard to whether the ladies were single, married, with family/husband and passing comments like "Yeh to chandigarh ka maal hain.. Utha le.. Utha le." If ladies are travelling by night bus, and if the Bus is getting cancelled, it is the responsibility of Roadways department that ensure that there is enough protection provided to ladies waiting for their buses at the Gurgaon Bus Stand.

Gurgaon is at the stage of prosperity and progress like no other city in India. Roadways plays an important role in the perception of Gurgaon as a safe haven for Women. If these incidents are happening and i am sure they must be happening every other day, it would be very difficult for people to trust this place as a safe haven for women to work and travel.

It is my humble request to the Roadways department to ensure safety of women through collaboration with the Gurgaon Police and ensure drunkards don't roam around freely and pester women travellers..
