MP School Vehicles Seized in Garoth Crackdown

In a crackdown on school vehicles operating without valid permits and insurance, the administration in Garoth, Madhya Pradesh, seized three buses and three Magic vehicles on Tuesday. The inspection drive was conducted under the leadership of SDM Rahul Chauhan at 4 pm, where officials verified the permits, insurance, and fitness certificates of vehicles operated by various private schools.

The drive was a part of the administration's efforts to ensure the safety of students traveling to and from schools. Several vehicles were found to be carrying students without valid permits and insurance, following which they were seized and taken to the police station.

Vehicles associated with prominent schools such as Sharda Convent School, Chambal Convent School, Kamla Sakhlecha School, Satyam Public School, and Panchsheel Academy were among those inspected. Fortunately, no vehicle was found to be carrying students beyond its permitted capacity.

The inspection drive was carried out by a team of officials, including naib tehsildars Jinendra Kumar Nigam and Raghunath Machar, BEO/BRC Nepal Singh Tomar, and staff from the education and revenue departments. The administration's efforts to regulate school vehicles are aimed at preventing accidents and ensuring the safety of students.
