The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) has issued a directive to its employees, urging them to refrain from wearing T-shirts and jeans to the office.
According to a senior TSRTC official, while there is no official mandate, TSRTC Managing Director VC Sajjanar has instructed all office staff to comply with a formal dress code.
The official stated, “Drivers and bus conductors are already wearing their prescribed uniforms. However, the sight of officials in informal attire within the TSRTC premises is deemed to undermine the organization’s dignity.”
While TSRTC drivers and conductors are attired in Khakee or blue uniforms, supervisors at bus stations don white uniforms. Nevertheless, there is no specified dress code for officials or employees working in TSRTC offices.
Last year, ahead of the Telangana Assembly polls, former Chief Minister and BRS supremo K Chandrashekar Rao announced the integration of TSRTC with the state government.
On August 6, the Telangana State Legislative Assembly passed the merger bill, thereby granting over 43,000 employees of the public transport body the status of government staff.
