School vans
School vans use locally fitted LPG cylinders much to the danger of kids. The police and the concerned authorities are least concerned.While the schools are off for winter vacations, it is high time that advertisements are made through electronic as well as print media against the use of LPG cylinders in the school vans that are already over loaded with young kids. Such is the overload that kids get off the vans. It is not enough that the van driver is caught by the police and fined a few rupees but such vans should be confiscated and not allowed to ply on the roads.
