Families of drivers from the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) who lost their lives in road accidents have received ₹1 crore each under an accident insurance arrangement linked to employees’ salary accounts.

The payout comes under an enhanced accidental death cover introduced as part of a welfare collaboration aimed at strengthening social security for frontline transport staff who face daily road risks. The scheme also covers cases of permanent disability , ensuring financial protection for employees in high-risk service conditions.

Speaking on the occasion, Y. Nagi Reddy , Vice Chairman and Managing Director of TGSRTC, said employee welfare remains a key priority for the corporation.

Officials expressed hope that the assistance would help families rebuild their lives, offering reassurance that structured support systems exist for employees and their dependents in times of crisis.
