Uttar Pradesh Inspects School Vehicles Amid Ongoing Safety and Overcrowding Concerns
Uttar Pradesh's Transport Department, under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's directives, is conducting the 'Mission Safe Future' campaign to inspect over 82,000 school vehicles and verify drivers' character to enhance student safety. Inspections found 6,066 unfit vehicles, with some seized or fined. However, enforcement challenges persist, especially in Lucknow, where overcrowded school vans continue to operate beyond permitted capacity, raising safety concerns amid limited enforcement resources.
