After a TV news channel telecast the experience faced by Daya Bai, who works among tribals in Central India, Transport Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan expressed regret and said proper action would be taken against the culprits.
She told reporters today that the conductor and driver used vulgar words and misbehaved with her when she enquired about the bus stop near Aluva where she was supposed to get down.
