NEW DELHI: NCP-SCP Rajya Sabha member Fauzia Khan on Monday expressed concern over increasing number of accidents involving school buses and vans, and urged the government to formulate a national school transport policy to establish uniform safety regulations across all states.
Raising the issue during the Zero Hour in the Rajya Sabha, Khan cited a study to highlight the lack of safety measures in vehicles transporting school children.
The MP said Indian law does not mandate seat belts in school buses. She also said that while some states have instituted requirements for CCTV cameras in school buses, these practices are not universally applied. PTI
