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.”

Hubli, Mar 9: A Hubli court on Monday rejected the bail application of three Kashmiri students, who were booked for sedition, after their video allegedly raising pro-Pakistan slogans went viral.

The plea was filed under Section 439 of CrPC.

This comes after the Hubli Bar Association earlier withdrew its resolution against representing the three Kashmiri students and said that advocates who wish to appear for them can approach Dharwad Principal District Court to file bail plea.

The three students are Basit Ashik Sophi (19), Talib Majid (19) and Amir Mohiuddin (23). They were booked under sedition charges for raising pro-Pakistan slogan in a video shared on social media.

They were earlier transferred to Belgaum Hindalga jail from Hubli sub-jail and the case, registered in Gokul Road police station, was also transferred to the rural police station because the video was recorded in the college hostel room, which is in its jurisdiction.
