BMTC frames SOPs for medical emergencies in bus stands

The Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) has framed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for medical emergencies across its bus stands. These SOPs apply to four major bus stands, 10 TTMCs, and 38 small bus stands in the jurisdiction. The procedures detail quick response measures, first-aid protocols, and Dos and Don’ts for emergencies. This action followed a suo motu case registered by Upa Lokayukta Justice KN Phaneendra, which highlighted the lack of medical facilities at Shivajinagar Bus Stand.
