Delhi Tightens Bus Safety Rules After Minor's Gang-Rape Incident

The Delhi government mandated immediate installation of functional panic buttons and removal of curtains in all public transport buses following the gang-rape of a 16-year-old girl.

Investigations revealed the bus involved in the Greater Noida incident had 11 pending challans since April and lacked mandatory CCTV surveillance, yet continued to operate.

Transport authorities have launched a city-wide audit of all private and public buses, threatening permit cancellation for operators failing to meet safety compliance standards by September 10.
