In Amreli, Nilesh K. Solanki, a controller at the GSRTC depot, has set an example of honesty. He has saved young women from local gangs in the past. Recently, a woman lost her wallet containing ₹1,000 in cash and important documents while getting off a GSRTC bus to enroll her daughter in an educational institution. There were five passengers on the bus, including this woman. Based on CCTV footage, Nilesh Solanki traced the other four passengers and managed to return the lost wallet.
In another incident, a young son of a businessman from Amreli ran away from home during a family argument. Nilesh Solanki tracked him down in Vadodara and returned him to his family. In a separate case, a girl from another state left home without informing anyone. Nilesh noticed suspicious activity at the GSRTC depot and called the police when the girl could not provide satisfactory answers.
He then contacted her parents and ensured she was safely returned to them. Similarly, another woman left home due to a family dispute. Nilesh recognized her at the GSRTC depot and called the Abhayam team, who safely returned her to her family. Many families expressed their gratitude to Nilesh for his selfless actions and dedication to duty.
These incidents highlight the importance of humanity and service within the community. Nilesh’s actions not only brought relief to the families involved but also showcased the role of GSRTC employees in ensuring safety and support for passengers.
In a related development, the Gujarat government has made a significant decision regarding the welfare of GSRTC employees. If an employee dies while on duty, their family will now receive ₹14 lakh, an increase from the previous ₹8 to ₹10 lakh. This decision was made after discussions with various employee unions, reflecting the government’s commitment to the welfare of its staff.
The state government also announced a 4% increase in the dearness allowance for GSRTC employees. The Home Minister, Harsh Sanghvi, shared this information on Twitter, stating that the Chief Minister, Bhupendra Patel, has approved this increase, enhancing the monthly dearness allowance to 50% of the basic salary.
This will benefit GSRTC employees significantly, with the total financial assistance exceeding ₹125 crores. The state government is set to provide detailed information soon regarding the implementation of these new measures.
The GSRTC Employees Union recently held its annual meeting. They discussed various pressing issues, including the need for immediate recruitment of drivers and the payment of salary arrears. The management showed a willingness to address these concerns promptly.
In conclusion, the actions of Nilesh Solanki and the recent government decisions demonstrate a strong commitment to service and support for the people of Gujarat. The GSRTC continues to play a vital role in ensuring the safety and welfare of its passengers and employees alike.
