In Panipat, 20 vehicles were seized; some of them included 20–25 children

A drive to inspect school buses, vans, taxis, three-wheelers, and other vehicles used to transport students was started by the traffic police on Monday. The police dropped off all the kids in their own cars to their schools after seizing a number of vehicles.

At about six in the morning, a police squad headed by Ranbeer Mann, Incharge, Traffic, West Zone, set a naka at the government gas station on the Assandh road. The police squad pulled over buses from a number of different schools, including St. Mary’s Convent School, Arya Bal Bharti, Bal Vikas School, and Bal Vikas Progressive School.

The police squad also pulled up taxis, vans, and three-wheelers that were overbooked with students or breaking other laws. Twenty vehicles in all were seized, some of which had twenty to twenty-five children inside of them, compared to the eighteen-nine kid maximum. These vans were seen breaking many traffic laws. 22 school buses, according to Mann, had been stopped. Two buses, he said, were impounded. Among them were two from St. Mary’s Senior Secondary School, whose insurance and fitness certificate had expired, and Arya Bal Bharti School, whose driver lacked the appropriate uniform. He said that the campaign will go on and that no one who broke traffic laws would be spared.

A combined crew from the RTA and the CM flying squad checked school cars today in Sonepat and Gohana as well. A total of thirty-five school cars were checked by the teams, twelve of which had problems. Four automobiles were also seized by the team. All school cars will be individually inspected, according to Manoj Kumar, DC, Sonepat, and no one will escape punishment for breaking the Surakshit School Vahan Policy or traffic laws.
