Himachal Road Transport Corporation [HRTC] — Dangerous condition of long route bus.

Address:

Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, 171202

Mam/sir,

Sub: malfunctioning brakes due to improper maintenance and careless authorities.

Copy: himachal watcher

I had boarded an hrtc chamunda-rohru bus from theog on 11.7.2016 which was heavily overloaded because no other buses to my destination kotkhai had arrived for 2 hours.
The bus departed from theog at 6 pm but reached chhaila at 8 pm eventhough the distance is just 15km downhill.
Many passengers started arguing with the driver and conductor, but many supported them (including me). the reason i supported them was that i knew that the bus was running with "defected brakes" and was overloaded.

I am complaining on behalf of the passengers and the citizens of the state capital.
Why is the maintenance of the hrtc buses not looked upon?
*non frequent buses
*malfunctioning brakes
*malfunctioning door handles
Who is responsible to utilize the funds sent for the maintenance of buses?

I am a proud traveller of hrtc, a bus service which has conquered the roads from speedy highways of plains to dangerous slopes of kinnaur but serious mistakes like these need to be checked.

Thanking you in anticipation
Ayush sharma
