Mandya: No leave, no accidents for 31 years- unique KSRTC bus driver retires


Daijiworld Media Network - Mandya (MS)

Mandya, Oct 31: In an exemplary show of dedication and passion for one's work, a KSRTC bus driver, did not take a single day's leave and also did not cause any accident in a career that spanned for 31 long years.

K B Boregowda is the person who has served selflessly to his employer KSRTC. In addition, as he is getting retired, he got the bus which he drives decorated with flowers and distributed sweets to the passengers.

For the past eight years he is driving the KSRTC bus in K R Pet and Berya route. All passengers who travel by the bus driven by Boregowda have high regards for him. People used to refer the bus driven by Boregowda as 'Boregowda bus' with affection.

Boregowda has received numerous awards for his commitment including the chief minister's gold medal and honour by the taluk administration. According to Shivakumar, depot manager where Boregowda worked, if other employees and staff of KSRTC follow the example of Boregowda, the organization can give better service to the public as well as turn the organization into a profit making one.

The people of Mandya district have lauded the commitment and dedication of Boregowda.

    @David Pais mangalore where is the connection between the taking over by someone and making accidents?Who does so what?I know only accidents happen,but making accidents by persons ?because of their life is become too hard for them.I salute this driver for his dedication to work without a days leave.If I was in his wifes position,would grumble at him .Thank you sir for your service.I think KRTC has made a wonderful gift to him by giving him his beloved play bus .Thank you for being a lead person to others.Now he can do with it what he all these years didnt do,a trip with this bus with family ,till he is get fed up.long live Bore Gowda

    I truly appreciate his careful driving for no accidents but working without taking his leave is totally condemnable. One should give time for his family and for himself using the given benefits of the company. Life can be lived only once.
