A day after deploying home guards in Delhi Transport Corporation night service buses, the Delhi government on Friday said it is also examining the possibility of providing security cover in its bus fleet that operates in evening.

"We are considering deploying home guards on board the DTC buses that operate in the evening," a transport department official said.

The government, in the wake of gang rape of a 23-year-old girl in a moving bus, had on Thursday started deploying home guards in 89 DTC night service buses which will be running between 11 pm to 5 am covering almost all parts of the city.
