In Chandigarh, private schools are under pressure to address serious safety violations related to student transport zones and unauthorized campus modifications. Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav has mandated that all student loading and drop-off activities occur within school premises and under adult supervision, in response to a safety audit revealing significant compliance issues. This directive aims to alleviate the traffic hazards caused by school buses blocking public lanes during peak hours. Furthermore, many schools have been found to have illegally converted designated parking areas into lawns, sports fields, or temporary classrooms. The schools must rectify these encroachments before the new academic year begins. To enforce compliance, code enforcement teams will conduct unannounced inspections immediately following the summer holidays. Yadav has warned that any school failing to adhere to these safety protocols after the holiday period will face strict legal repercussions, including potential closure. This ultimatum underscores the administration's commitment to ensuring student safety and maintaining traffic order in the area.
