News Desk

KARACHI: In a significant move to enhance child safety, the Sindh government has imposed a ban on the use of CNG and LPG cylinders in school vans.

This decision aims to ensure the secure transportation of students across the province.

The provincial authorities have issued stringent safety guidelines for school vans, mandating the removal of these gas cylinders to mitigate risks associated with potential accidents.

An official spokesperson emphasized that the initiative is part of a broader strategy to protect children during their daily commutes to and from educational institutions.

This new regulation is expected to have far-reaching implications for parents and school administrations, as it underscores the government’s commitment to prioritizing student safety.

The ban is likely to prompt a review of existing transportation practices and may lead to increased operational costs for school van services, which could ultimately affect parents’ expenses.

Moving forward, the Sindh government plans to conduct inspections of school vans to ensure compliance with the new regulations.

Authorities are also expected to engage with stakeholders, including school administrations and transportation providers, to discuss the implementation of these safety measures.
