Virtually addressing the functions, CM Rupani said that the state transport service is a mean of serving the people of the state and not that of making profit. He also congratulated the employees of GSRTC for the role played by them in natural calamities like cyclone or flood in evacuation of people to safety.

Rupani said that the GSRTC is providing public transport service to around 25 lakh people daily covering 99 per cent of rural areas of the state.
