The Regional Transport Authority (RTA) officials in Vanasthalipuram have seized 15 school buses and vans for multiple violations, including lack of fitness, overloading, use of non-transport vehicles for student transport, and driver unawareness of road safety rules.
The crackdown follows the tragic death of a four-year-old girl who was run over by a school bus in Hyderabad’s Hayathnagar on February 6. The accident reportedly happened when the bus driver reversed the vehicle as the child was getting out of the minivan. The driver failed to notice her, and she fell under the rear tyre resulting in instant death.
