Explanation:
However, the district administration claimed that adequate measures had been taken to ensure that school buses and vans were run as per rules. A reality check by The Tribune team brought to the fore that several buses, vans and tempo travellers ferrying students to schools were not only overloaded but even lacked various safety features. Parents also feel that a lot more needs to be done to ensure safety of children.
It was noticed that most of the schools had not adopted the safety measures like fist-aid box, CCTVs, care-taker to pick and drop students in the buses. However, some of the schools have introduced new buses with safety features but many school buses needed to be upgraded.
Two months ago, the state cabinet had also finalised guidelines for the safety of schoolchildren, yet no notification had been issued even after the expiry of two months because of certain official bottlenecks. A senior officer of the state Transport Department admitted that the file for the approval had been held up in the Law Department. He was non-committal when the notification would be issued.
