School buses on strike across Tamil Nadu
Posted on: 19/Nov/2012 12:30:29 PM
Students across Tamil Nadu facing a harrowing time today with school buses staying off the roads.
School managements are not plying the buses to protest against the stricter norms introduced by the state government for vehicles transporting school children. The state has around 10,500 private schools which own around 50,000 buses. With these buses staying off the road, many students are forced to walk to their schools.
The new regulations were laid down following the death of a six-year-old student, Shruti, after she fell through a hole in the floor of her bus on July 25,2012.
