SAFE TRANSPORT
FOR TRANSPORTING
SCHOOL CHILDREN & POLICE VERIFICATION OF DRIVER
Dear Parents,
1. We
would like to inform you that the Govt. of National Capital Territory of Delhi,
Directorate of Education has issued a order No
DE.15(143)/Act-I/Tpt./2014/26586-26598 dated 26th Sep 2014 regarding
use of safe transport. You are advised
to ensure that your ward does not travel in illegal Vans/RTVs which can be
dangerous or fatal owing to non adherence of motor vehicle laws and Supreme
Court guidelines. All private vans carrying school children are required to
have special registration series DL1K and painted with golden yellow strip all
around in the middle of van. All unauthorised vehicles engaged in
transportation of school children without valid DL1K registration series are
liable to be impounded.
2. Hence,
parents of those students who are using own arrangement transport are hereby
advised to collect the commercial permit from the driver without any further
delay and get drivers verified by the Delhi Police (www.delhipolice.nic.in) and submit the complete details of
transport, names & number of students travelling, driver’s verification
report and other details to the school authorities (transport-in-charge) latest
by 27th July 2017.
3. It
was found that few van drivers do not hold valid license, insurance and other
relevant documents. It is suggested that before availing van facilities,
parents must check the following documents:
(a) Valid Driving License
(b) Insurance and validity (with special
registration series)
(c) Speed Governor
(d) Address proof to the driver
(e) Van should conform to Delhi Govt.
Guidelines.
4. For
safety of children, it is suggested, that your ward should not sit on CNG
Cylinder while commuting through private vans and, should wear the seat belt
while sitting on the front seat. Number of students commuting in Van shouldn’t
be more than the authorised strength as per the vehicle registration.
5. It
is once again reiterated that the safest mode of travel is the school bus/service
coaches.
6. Your proper compliance and early reply
will be genuinely appreciated anticipated.
Yours faithfully
