Major relief for outsourced operators: Yogi govt approves mutual transfers in Transport Corporation

Lucknow : The Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh has announced significant relief for outsourced operators working in Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation. Mutual transfers will now be permitted for operators appointed through outsourcing, which will enhance employee convenience and operational efficiency. This step is expected to not only ease the challenges faced by the operators but also boost the corporation’s performance and revenue.

Minister of State for Transport (Independent Charge), Shri Dayashankar Singh, stated that operators were bound to serve at their designated postings under the existing system. However, with the new policy, those who have completed a minimum of six months of service and covered at least 30,000 kilometers will now be eligible for transfer through mutual consent.

This initiative will especially benefit those posted in remote areas, enabling them to work closer to their home districts or preferred locations. The move is expected to reduce absenteeism and unnecessary leave, ensuring smoother bus operations.

The Minister added that consistent operator availability will increase the number of active buses and working days, ultimately enhancing the Transport Corporation’s revenue. Passengers will benefit from more timely and regular bus services, improving travel experience and connectivity.

This forward-thinking decision by the Yogi government reflects its commitment to transparency, employee welfare, and public convenience. It marks another meaningful step towards comprehensive development across all sectors in the state.
