 He said assurance was made based on the request of the Council after receiving complaints from parents regarding the challenges students faced during pick up and dropping, primarily due to the unregulated movement of large vehicles which jeopardize the safety of school children.

Accordingly, the JNC met with the Deputy Commissioner to address the risks faced by students crossing National Highway 6 to attend school, especially given the ongoing road construction that exacerbates the situation.
