Retired employee’s decision to join service
I retired last year. The corporation gave a lot till retirement. Now the strike is on. Due to this, the passengers are being neglected. Passengers are suffering financial loss while traveling in private vehicle. Because of this I have decided to join the service. For commuters, I’d focus on performance.
