BHAKTAPUR, Feb 14: The metropolitan traffic police has initiated a campaign to take action against school vehicles for carrying overload beyond capacity.



The traffic police jumpstarted the campaign Monday to take action against school vehicles carrying students beyond the capacity even after charging exorbitant transport costs to parents, said metropolitan traffic division chief and Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Ganesh Raj Rai.

Commenting that the schools have straightly ignored the child rights by standing them up in bus for hours, he said the campaign was initiated to bring the schools breaching transport rules to book.



At least 201 schools in the Capital were taken action for carrying students more than the vehicle capacity in course of check carried out yesterday, he further informed.
