The Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has directed the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) to reschedule its bus services according to school timings to prevent hardship to students.
Commission member Reni Antony, on Friday, directed the KSRTC chairman and managing director to issue orders for rescheduling bus services after considering petitions from school Headmasters/Principals so that students could reach and leave schools on time.
The Kollam District Transport Officer and the assistant transport officers of the Punalur and Pathanapuram KSRTC depots were asked to take steps to reschedule bus services on receiving applications from headmaster/principal of Government Higher Secondary School, Ottakkal, and Mohammedan Government Higher Secondary School, Idathara, and restart a bus service to benefit the students of Government Higher Secondary School, Punnala.
