CHIKKABALLAPUR: Private buses running on the Chintamani-Bagepalli road carry hundreds of school- and college-going students every day in utter disregard of road safety norms.
Ever since schools and colleges reopened for this academic year, it has become a common sight to see buses packed with students and even occupying the roof of the buses, coming to Bagepalli.
Despite the potential danger to their lives, neither the police nor the transport officials have taken note of it. Locals have demanded strict action against bus operators who brazenly flout norms.
