Absolute bunkum.
State gives permission for 42 big private schools to start operations. And then want kids to forego even the sleep they need.
BTP and Traffic Police sit on issues, despite plea after plea. Ignore it consistently. Some bandaids have been put. For now. With not a vision to actually solve the issue.
And you want children to forego even the sleep they desperately need. Because the adults cannot get it together?
Sit this one down.
●Considering , Huge, 42 Big Private Schools , 1000 School buses, 40,000 Students, in East #Bengaluru Varthur- Gunjur-Dommasandra stretch, all commuting mostly on same time, only permanent solution is of "Staggered School timings" .
●Start schools from 06:30 AM & stagger it across schools, as done in many KVs Inc. KV Malleshwaram
●Presently, Traffic issue is well attended by @DCPTrEastBCP @dcpwhitefield @wftrps 👏, however the massive No. of school buses poses a big challenge.

2+ hours. Every single day. That's how long kids from Whitefield spend on Varthur Road for a 5km commute. My own daughter is stuck right now as I post this. Whitefield deserves better than this. @blrcitytraffic @DKShivakumar @krishnabgowda @PCMohanMP @MALimbavali #Varthur
