The West Bengal government on Friday formed a task force to look into safety concerns regarding pool cars carrying students to schools, an official said.
The decision came after a pool car accident in Hooghly district led to the death of an eight-year-old boy, Rishabh Singh, and injured several others.
The task force, comprising officials of the state transport department, school education department and police, will be submitting a report to the government after conducting a month-long study.
A meeting was held at state secretariat 'Nabanna' regarding the issue, following which the decision to form the task force was taken, the official said.
