Reinstate bus marshals: AAP

New Delhi: The AAP on Tuesday appealed to Lieutenant-Governor VK Saxena to restore the jobs of bus marshals. Senior AAP leader Sanjeev Jha said bus marshals were from poor families and were now struggling to meet their families’ expenses. Therefore, the L-G should restore their jobs on humanitarian grounds, keeping in mind the plight of their families. “The appointment of 10,000 bus marshals was cancelled on the L-G’s orders. Later in February 2024, a proposal was passed in the Assembly to continue the services of bus marshals and sent to the L-G, but they were not reinstated,” he stated.
