Tamil Nadu Mandates GPS Tracking in Public Vehicles for Safety

The government in Tamil Nadu is making it compulsory for all public vehicles, like buses and taxis, to have GPS trackers.

This means these vehicles will have devices that show their location in real time.

The goal is to make traveling safer for everyone and keep a better eye on how the transport system works.

The Home (Transport) Department is in charge.

Companies that make these tracking devices need to get their models approved and set up services for vehicle owners.

The Transport Commissioner will oversee the process.

This will help track where buses are and provide a greater level of transparency in operations.
