    Oh I also forgot to mention, most of these autos are not autos. They are missiles in the form autos driven brazenly by the drivers here. The speed limit, the reckless driving, the onway rule, the unauthorized headlights are not applicable to these guys at all.

    And now suddenly the entire system that has been slumbering till now will wake up. The cops, the RTO, and district administration will all go into a frenzy, file a few cases in a few auto drivers for risking children's lives, bring the age old ban on autos taking school children, etc etc, only to be forgotten after two weeks. And then we are all back to square one.

    I blame parents as well as traffic Police. Parents should not send their children if there are more more than 3 to 4 childrens, next at every schools area atleast one Police must watch the auto or vehicles where childrens are transporting.

    Ritaji, if they ask childrens to get down in the middle, no parents will send their children if there are more than 3. Automatically the Rickshaw drivers will charge double. Again problem.
