The Punjab government has sent off a critical drive to address the continuous smog emergency by making it compulsory for private school students to use buses for their transportation.
The new guidelines require private schools to guarantee that no less than 60% of their students are transported through school transport.
This denotes a huge shift from the past circumstances where numerous students involved private vehicles for their driving.
The move is pointed toward lessening the natural effect of individual transportation decisions and adding to the extreme smog levels nearby.

The Education Authority in Lahore has given an order commanding private schools to secure their transports and transport a larger part of their students through these transports. Schools that neglect to consent to this mandate face expected correctional activities.
To guarantee consistency, tuition-based schools are expected to buy transports and give declarations as evidence.
This severe oversight exhibits the government’s commitment to executing this new approach and advancing shared liability between educational institutes.
Right now, enormous levels of students in tuition-based schools utilize private vehicles or private van services for transportation.
This strategy at first targets major school institutes, with plans for more extensive execution later on. This drive by the Punjab government is a proactive step towards tending to ecological difficulties and advancing supportable practices in the education sector.
