A bus conductor working for the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation earned widespread public acclaim and institutional commendation on Tuesday after demonstrating exemplary integrity by returning a misplaced bag containing three lakh rupees in cash to a family of Haj pilgrims.
The incident occurred aboard an express bus service operating along the Warangal to Hyderabad transit corridor. While carrying out a routine passenger cabin inspection after the bus reached the Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station terminal, conductor K. Venkateshwarlu spotted an unclaimed travel pouch left behind beneath a passenger seat.
Upon opening the pouch in the presence of the depot traffic superintendent, depot officials discovered three bundles of currency notes alongside sovereign travel passports and pilgrimage identification badges. Within hours, depot authorities contacted the frantic family, who had disembarked to proceed toward the international airport, and restored the life savings intended to fund their holy pilgrimage.
TGSRTC Managing Director V. C. Sajjanar publicly felicitated Venkateshwarlu with a certificate of honor and a cash reward, commending his moral character as an inspiring example of public service integrity. Local civic leaders and community organizations also organized a reception to celebrate the honest transport employee’s selflessness.
