In a comprehensive regulatory drive, the Udupi Police Department registered 203 cases involving school vehicles that were found operating without the requisite permits or safety certificates, citing breaches of local transport rules.
The enforcement action, carried out over a period of several weeks, covered a range of vehicles including minivans, buses, and private cars that were being used to shuttle students between schools and residential areas. Sources say the officers seized operating documents and imposed fines, with a total of Rs 71,000 collected in penalties issued during the crackdown.
