In a bid to enhance student safety and reduce traffic congestion outside educational institutions, authorities in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India, have directed schools to utilize their own premises for parking school buses. This decision was made during a meeting of the district school transport safety committee, chaired by Satyam Mishra, the additional district magistrate. The new regulations stipulate that students will now board and disembark from buses within school grounds instead of on public roads. Schools are instructed to establish transport safety committees to monitor compliance with the Uttar Pradesh Motor Vehicles (26th Amendment) Rules, 2018, which govern school vehicle operations. With 2,358 registered school vehicles in the district, officials emphasized the importance of ensuring that all vehicles have valid documentation and safety equipment, including fire extinguishers and emergency exits. Additionally, schools are encouraged to stagger student dispersal times by at least 15 minutes to minimize traffic congestion. The district magistrate, Manish Kumar Verma, has warned of zero tolerance for negligence in student safety, indicating that strict action will be taken against violators of these norms.
