Debate and dissension have followed a bus conductor from Osmanabad who was suspended by the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) for her Instagram reels and Facebook videos filmed while on duty and in uniform. The MSRTC said it was against service rules and amounted to misconduct. The social media accounts of the conductor are full of several posts on duty, in uniform, and on the MSRTC premises, a report said in this paper.

A top MSRTC official questioned how this conductor can do both, her duty and create so many posts on social media at the same time. This, he said, was cause for concern. Though not stated overtly, he meant there is a question mark hanging whether this is divided attention, when on duty.
