Imphal, December 26 2022:
The Director, Transport Department has advised all operators engaging in transport of school students/children to comply with the conditions set by the Department.
A notification issued by the Department in this regard noted that almost all the vehicles used for transportation of school students/children, particularly the buses, vans and three wheelers have not complied with the standard conditions and safety norms as prescribed by the Transport Department.
Carrying an excess number of school children compromising the safety and comfort is a serious offence.
Moreover, the vehicle used for transportation of school children should be regularly checked for their fitness and related documents like permits, PUCC (Pollution Under Control Certificates), commercial registration etc, it said.
Necessary actions will be taken up against defaulters as per the Motor Vehicle Act and Rules, said the Department.
