“It requires some more time to examine it and obtain legal opinion for taking a decision on the request,” the press release added.

As the TSRTC bill is a financial bill, it needs the prior approval of the Governor for its introduction in the Assembly. The bill seeks to merge State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) with the government. The bill was recently approved by the Telangana cabinet. (ANI)
