To enhance the working conditions for Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation's (MSRTC) employees, the Chief Minister Eknath Shinde inaugurated the first air-conditioned (AC) rest house for drivers and conductors at Mumbai Central on Sunday, October 13.
The event was attended by Guardian Minister Deepak Kesarkar, along with MSRTC officials and staff.
It was built at a cost of approximately INR 90 lakh and developed with funding from the District Planning Committee.
This initiative reflects the government's commitment to improving the welfare of transport workers in the state.
Following this initiative, similar air-conditioned rest houses are planned for bus depots in Parel, Kurla (Nehru Nagar), and Borivali (Nancy Colony). Additionally, a facility is currently under construction at the Kopar bus station in Thane, with an inauguration expected soon.
Features:
A MSRTC official stated that the facility features three modern rest rooms designed to accommodate around 300 drivers and conductors from various depots, including 100 from the Mumbai Central bus depot.
It also includes two-tier bunk beds, an entertainment area, a separate dining hall, and well-equipped washrooms, ensuring a comfortable environment for the staff.
