After a fire happened in Hinjawadi, the Pune Regional Transport Office (RTO) is checking all the private buses in the city. There are about 1,000 buses that run every day in Maharashtra.
The RTO wants to make sure that buses are safe for everyone. Special teams called Vayuveg Pathak will look at important safety parts of the buses, how well they work, and if they've the right emergency tools.
You will see that the RTO is being very careful with bus drivers. They aren't allowed to use their mobile phones or drink alcohol while driving. Also, all buses must have speed governors. This means they can't go too fast on highways and in the city.
The RTO found that many bus drivers weren't following safety rules before. They often didn't do regular checks and maintenance on their buses. This can be very dangerous for the people who ride the buses every day.
The RTO will check the buses regularly and sometimes without telling the bus drivers. If the drivers don't follow the rules, they'll get punished.
This is an important step to make sure that all private buses in Pune are safe. The RTO wants to keep a close eye on how the buses are working and how the drivers are acting so that everyone can travel safely.
