Today, 10/08/09 at 6.30 AM I have boarded Borivali Kuda bus at Sukurwadi ST stand. After Malad conductor came for issuing tickets. I had shown him my senior citizen card.and gave money but he refused to accept senior citizen card stating that it is not original. I had told him that it is original card and I have travelled with this card so many times from last two years by ST, 2x2 and I had taken reservation for Talegaon ST Depot. But he did not listen to me on the contrary he had taken my card and kept in his pocket.when I pointed out that you can not take my card and keep in your pocket.there upon he insulted me and abused in vulgar language and asking me to get down from the bus.i have requested him I am old citizen and can not walk properly due to recent removal of plaster.and insisted him to issue me a ticket but he did not. At Vashi he asked to to get down from the bus and taken me to ST Inspector he also did not listen to me and asked me to get down from the bus. I have waited there from nearly from 15-20 Min. After that State Govt jeep came and stop that at spot. I Have immediately shown my Senior Citizen card to the officer sitting in the jeep and told whole incidence to him. Thereupon that office called your ST inspector and told him it is original card, Tehsildar's signature and original Govt stamp is there, and how you are saying it is not original. Thereupon your officer told it is a small card it is not big A4 Size card He did not know village people have been issued big cards while city like Bombay small laminated cards have been issued and Govt officer told your inspector to help me in getting next bus. He had boarded me to next bus coming to Talegaon.
Thanks & Regards
