It has strictly been said that school authorities will be responsible for the safety of kids in school-run vehicles and no lags will be considered therein. A female attendant has to be deployed in each of the school buses who will be responsible to ensure that all kids in the bus reach home safely. District authorities are prioritising the well-being of the children by mandating the presence of a woman attendant in school buses.

This decision comes after the occurrence of an alarming accident
