In the meeting, a major focus of the discussion was on the rental bus agreements made during the previous YSRCP government. The Board observed that the lease period for nearly 200 private buses was irregularly extended, allegedly benefitting bus owners and causing financial losses to the corporation. The Board resolved to conduct a comprehensive review of these contracts and submit a detailed report to the State Government for further action.
