Srinagar: Parents from central
Kashmir’s Ganderbal district Thursdayexpressed anguish over the
over-loading in school buses and held protests.
While speaking to GNS, parents alleged that the buses of
various private schools are over-loading and their children are ‘being boarded
like cattle in the buses’.
In protest, the parents stopped a bus of a private school
for nearly an hour at Dudharhama and demanded intervention of authorities.
“This is clear injustice with our children. They are being kept like cattle in
these buses. This practice should end,” an agitated parent told GNS.
The principal of the concerned school assured that the
demand of parents will be met.
Abdul Majeed, who is Additional Regional Transport
Officer, told GNS that these days he is busy with election duty but tomorrow he
will send an Inspector so that the issue gets solved.
The Superintendent of Police (SP) Traffic said he is
unaware about the issue. “I will look into it,” he said. (GNS)
