Chairing a meeting on the safety of school vehicles here on Wednesday, he directed the region transport and police officials to initiate stringent action against those vehicles that are crammed with schoolchildren.

The district administration wants to ensure that all safety measures prescribed by the government and courts are strictly adhered to by June 30, he added.

The DC said, “As per the rules, the autorickshaw can accommodate six children (below 12 years) in one trip. The Maruthi Omni can accommodate only eight children. If the children are above 12 years, then the number of children should be as per the carrying capacity of the vehicles.”

“The RTO and the Education Department should act swiftly in this regard. As the safety measures are implemented in the interest of the safety of the children, the parents should cooperate with the authorities,” he added.

Earlier, Udupi Deputy Commissioner Dr Vishal R said that he would try to take stringent measures on road safety, especially on the vans carrying schoolchildren. He would try to secure maximum compensation for the families of victims.

Dr Vishal said, “I will recommend something on humanitarian ground. Regulatory measures will be introduced. There is a need for solution and it would be known in the days to come.”

Bengaluru, Jul 16: Former Prime Minister and JDS supremo H D Devegowda on Thursday gave a clarion call to party workers to take steps to strengthen the party from the grossroots level and to 'expose the failures' and 'anti-people' policies of BJP government both at the Centre and State.

In an open letter to the workers here, he alleged that the urgent need is to create awareness among the people about failure of the governments which have brought in policies which are deterrent to the poor and downtrodden.

BJP government headed by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in Karnataka has come up with an amendment to the Land Reforms Act,1961, which is 'against' interests of the small and medium farmers as even a non-agriculturist can purchase agriculture land, thus giving an opportunity to the rich people to 'exploit' illiterate farmers and purchase their land and use it for some other purpose after some time.

Chamaranagara, Mar 29: As many as 595 Tamil Nadu-based fishermen, who were working in Mangaluru, crossed the Karnataka border and reached their state via Chamarajanagar on Saturday.

Police said following the lockdown, the fishermen had left Mangaluru in more than 20 vehicles. The fishermen crossed the Karnataka border through Punajur check-post. However, the vehicles returned after dropping them near Hasanur check-post in Tamil Nadu.

As the fishermen had no proper documents, they were stopped by Tamil Nadu Police. However, the police allowed them after screening. The Tamil Nadu government arranged vehicles to ferry them, said a police officer.
