Haryana Roadways driver & conductor helped Rishabh Pant
Haryana Roadways Panipat depot general manager Kuldeep Jangra said, “We gave them an appreciation letter and a shield when they returned to Panipat.” He said that Kumar, along with his conductor, stopped the bus when they observed a car slam into the road barrier, and they both rushed to the scene to assist.
Jangra claimed that the conductor and the driver both displayed compassion. The bus left Haridwar around 4.25 am for Panipat, and it arrived at the accident site approximately an hour later, according to him. He said, “The conductor and the driver told us that the moment they took Pant out of the car, the car burst into flames.”
The two showed humanity and compassion when it was required the most, according to Haryana Transport Minister Mool Chand Sharma, and gave Pant prompt assistance. Ashok Kumar, the director general of police for Uttarakhand, stated on Friday that the “Good Samaritan” programme of the Indian government’s Ministry of Road Transport and Highways would honour and award the onlookers who assisted Pant.
