Gurugram Orders School-Bus Safety Measures After Children Stranded

Heavy rain flooded roads in Gurugram and caused traffic jams.

Some school buses carrying hundreds of children became stuck for hours.

The district administration created new safety rules for rainy days.

Traffic police must tell schools which routes are clear, slow, or flooded.

Schools must not send buses through flooded roads or underpasses.

If no safe route exists, children must stay at school with adults until parents are informed.

Every bus must have a staff escort and children can only be handed to parents or approved guardians.

Spare buses and emergency vehicles will be kept ready to help stranded students.

Government agencies will improve drainage and check whether schools are following the rules each week.
