Location tracking devices to be installed in Hry's public transport vehicles for women's safety
Chandigarh: To strengthen the safety of women and children in Haryana, the state govt has decided to equip all public transport vehicles with vehicle location tracking devices (VLTD).
This decision was taken during a review meeting of the transport department held here today under the chairmanship of chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday.
Cabinet minister Krishan Lal Panwar was also present at the meeting.
The CM directed officers to implement the scheme in a time-bound manner by setting department-wise or district-wise targets. He further directed the integration of this system with the emergency response service 112.
This initiative is expected to be a milestone in establishing a safe transport system for women in the state.
The CM was apprised that the VLTD system was developed by the ministry of road transport and highways, Govt of India, under the Nirbhaya Framework to make the public transport system secure, transparent, and technologically enabled, offering real-time location data and emergency alert features.
He also reviewed budget announcements and directed fast-tracking of the execution of these announcements.

Expressing concern over road accidents, the CM gave clear directions for conducting scientific studies to identify the causes. He directed a thorough investigation of each accident, including road conditions, overspeeding, stray animals, or any other possible factors, so that those shortcomings can be addressed to prevent such incidents in the future.
Saini also issued specific instructions to monitor the fitness of school transport vehicles. He said all school buses must undergo regular inspections, with attention paid to their technical condition. A meeting with school transport operators should be called soon, where they must be given clear guidelines, and after a fixed timeline, non-compliance should result in challans and vehicle seizure. "Children's safety is our responsibility," he said.
