Patna News: Nearly all of Patna‘s roads are congested following the school break. A meeting with all of the traffic DSPs and school representatives was convened on Tuesday under the chairmanship of Traffic SP Puran Jha in order to make the traffic flow smoothly. In this, it was decided that if there are two or three schools along a route, then their vacation time must be retained with a gap of five to ten minutes. Along with this, a suitable number of security guards will need to be stationed at each school during the start of the school year and during breaks, at points where there is high traffic around the entrance to the school and the road leading to it. The main issue arises around the summer months. Regarding this, stopping the school buses will require them to be let to go only after a certain amount of time has passed.
