**Doda, September 19:*
In a bid to enhance passenger safety, the District Administration in Doda, led by Deputy Commissioner Vishesh Mahajan (Chairman District Road safety Committee), has introduced several measures to improve transport safety.
Under the directions to District Road Safety Committee (DRSC), the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) in Doda has issued a mandatory directive to all private schools in the district, making it compulsory for them to install CCTV cameras in their buses used for student transportation. This move aims to ensure closely the safety of students during their journeys within the town and surrounding Routes. Consequently, all private schools in the district have now equipped their buses with CCTV cameras to monitor the students during transit.

These installations help control the speed of vehicles while travelling and provide real-time tracking of their locations. A demonstration was conducted to showcase the functionality of these systems. Notably, when the vehicle reaches a speed of 50 km/h, the system automatically intervenes to control the speed and prevent further acceleration.
In a thorough assessment of the newly installed speed limit devices, the MVD Department conducted extensive tests during long drives. Officers and officials from the department were present to oversee the testing process, ensuring the proper functioning of these systems.
The MVD undertook inspections of various schools in the town to assess the proper functioning and maintenance of the CCTV cameras and GPS systems installed in school buses. It was confirmed that all schools have successfully implemented the CCTV camera installations.
Parents, students, bus drivers, and school administrators have expressed their appreciation for the proactive safety measures undertaken by the District Administration in Doda. These measures are aimed at preventing any untoward incidents during student transportation.
