Officials challan car ferrying 10 students to railway station

Thursday, 28 May 2020 | PNS | Haridwar

A car carrying 10 children with blatant disregard for social distancing was stopped by the sector magistrate and police during checking here on Wednesday.  The children being transported in the car were stated to be Madrasa students who were being taken to the railway station to board a train for their native state Bihar.

The Government has permitted three passengers in a five-seater four-wheeler and five passengers in an eight- to ten-seater vehicle to ensure social distancing. However, this rule was found being violated blatantly when the sector magistrate halted a car near Salempur and found 10 students in it.

The Madrasa manager who reached the spot told that all these students are from Bihar and were being dropped at Haridwar railway station from where they were to leave for Bihar.  He said that due to lack of arrangements for the car, all the children had been made to sit in one vehicle. The Roorkee police circle officer Chandan Singh Bisht said that a challan was issued for the said violation and the children were sent to the railway station.
