The Punjab State Commission for Protection of Child Rights Wednesday asked the state government to ensure reduction in private school bus fares with the decrease in petrol and diesel prices.

Commission chairman Sukesh Kalia said the international crude oil prices had come down following which prices of petrol and diesel had gone down.

He said the benefit of the reduced petrol and diesel prices should reach the parents of the children who were commuting in school buses.

He suggested that bus fares should be in accordance with the deflation of petrol and diesel prices.
