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.”
