Police in Udupi County announced that 203 cases have been booked after a comprehensive school vehicle safety drive that inspected more than 30 school buses across the district.
During the inspection, authorities found widespread violations such as excessive speeding, overloading of students, missing seat belts and absent fire extinguishers. The drive, which was part of the annual safety campaign, examined vehicles from 15 schools and 20 private transport operators.
Officials said the crackdown will lead to safer journeys for children and a reduction in school‑bus related accidents. Parents and school administrators welcomed the action as a needed step toward stronger enforcement of transport regulations. Source: Google News – Udupi.
