Pune Schools Given Three Months to Comply with Bus Safety RegulationsPreviousNext

Pune's district school bus safety committee has mandated that all school buses comply with safety regulations within three months, including the installation and maintenance of functional CCTV cameras. Vehicles lacking these measures may face enforcement action during fitness certificate renewals. The committee also requires police verification, medical checks, and proper documentation for drivers and attendants. Additional supervision is mandated for younger students, and special arrangements must be made for children with disabilities. Schools must address parental complaints through transport committees and maintain detailed records.
