Public safety concerns regarding school transportation are a recurring issue that impacts local governance and community trust.
The Udupi district unit of BJP Yuva Morcha has asked the Udupi district administration to take strict action to ensure the safety of children in school vehicles, in light of the three recent accidents involving school vehicles.
In a memorandum submitted to Udupi Deputy Commissioner T.K.
