“Today was the last session of the orientation programme conducted by the administration to enable the school bus operators and the school administrations to understand the dynamics of the whole system. We had sent an open invitation to attend the final session in which today there were about 30 people present including five to six school bus service providers,” said sub-divisional magistrate Disha Nagvanshi, who headed the session, adding that before this the administration had conducted about seven to eight sessions.

Speaking to Free Press she said the administration would soon launch a website in which every school administration and school bus service provider would put up the necessary information for proper implementation of the tracking system. “We have given enough time to comply with the administration’s decision. After April 16, we would not listen anything and start penalizing the offenders,” added Nagvanshi.
