Telangana Bus Conductor Reassigned to Alternate Duties Due to Height-Related Health Issues

Ameen Ahmed Ansari, a 6.5-foot tall bus conductor with Telangana State Road Transport Corporation, faced neck and back pain due to low bus ceilings requiring him to bend frequently. After an initial one-year reassignment to alternative duties ended, he resumed regular work but experienced health issues. Following this, TGSRTC reinstated his out-of-designation role, allowing him to work in positions better suited to his height, such as at bus pass sections or the airport, highlighting workplace adaptability concerns.
