1 2 3 Mohali: The regional transport officer (RTO), Mohali, has issued more than 33,000 challans and collected a total of Rs 11.09 crore in penalties over the past 18 months, in a joint enforcement drive with the Mohali traffic police. The action is part of a continued crackdown on traffic violations, including a special focus on school buses under the Safe School Vahan Policy. According to RTO Rajpal Singh Sekhon, 1,140 school buses were penalised during this period, an average of about two buses per day, for a range of violations including the absence of CCTV cameras, speed governors, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, valid permits, pollution certificates, fitness documents, GPS systems, drinking water, and proper uniforms for drivers and staff. Sekhon emphasised that ensuring the safety of school children is of utmost importance. "Under the Safe School Vahan Policy, each school is expected to form a transport safety committee to monitor buses operating on different routes. Key safety features such as CCTV cameras, attendants handing over children to parents, and driver uniforms are non-negotiable," he said.
