Imphal, May 11, 2025, Virthli (ONP): In a concerted effort to enhance the safety and well-being of school-going children, officials in Imphal West launched a proactive inspection drive targeting school vans operating across various routes in the district.
The initiative focused on monitoring the number of students being transported and ensuring adherence to mandated safety norms. Special attention was given to identifying cases of overcrowding and verifying the condition of vehicles used for daily school commutes.
The inspections form part of the Government of Manipur’s broader commitment to student safety and the enforcement of transportation guidelines for educational institutions. Authorities emphasized that the drive is not a one-off initiative, but part of a sustained campaign to make school travel safer for every child.
“We are committed to enforcing strict compliance with safety protocols. Any violations will be met with appropriate action,” said an official involved in the operation.
Parents, school authorities, and transport operators are being urged to cooperate with these measures to ensure that children commute in secure and regulated environments. The administration has reiterated its resolve to continue regular checks and take stern action against any breach of safety standards.
This initiative underscores the importance of community participation in safeguarding schoolchildren and fostering a culture of accountability and care in daily transportation.
