Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation [TNSTC] — Charging half ticket for less than 5 years old child

Address:

TNSTC, Tamilnadu

I have travelled along with my child 3 years 6 month old in TNSTC Bus No. TN 29 N 2696 from Tiruppattur to Dharmapuri at 10.00 AM on 10.06.2022. The Bus conductor Shri.K Annamalai CR No.7926 has forced me to take half ticket for my child though his age is less than 5 years. I explained that Tamilnadu Government has announced that children below five years of age can travel for free in government buses across the state w.e.f 06.05.2022. but he is not ready to hear my words and told that he don't know the rule is came to effect or not and collected half ticket fare from me for my child forcefully.
