Chandigarh's deputy commissioner, Nishant Kumar Yadav, has issued strict directives to enforce the 'Safe Transportation Policy for Students (STRAPS)' among private schools in the Union Territory. Schools are given a one-month deadline to comply, specifically to restore designated parking areas that have been misused or converted into other facilities. This directive follows a review meeting aimed at enhancing student safety and addressing issues related to traffic congestion during school hours. Schools must ensure that student pick-up and drop-off occurs within their campuses, and if not possible, they must create designated zones outside for this purpose. Additionally, schools are required to manage traffic flow effectively to prevent students from crossing busy roads. The administration is also reviewing compliance with the 15% quota for economically weaker sections (EWS) in private schools, emphasizing the need for adherence to all educational regulations.
