Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has assured the residents in Seaqaqa that government will look into the issue of shortage of school buses in the area.
He made this assurance after a farmer, Ajesh Maharaj of Vunivere Seaqaqa raised the issue with the Minister that students find it difficult to travel to and from school in the same bus that workers travel in.
Maharaj said that only one bus is provided on the route which carries both the school students and workers in the morning at 7 and at 3 in the afternoon.
He adds that students have to stand on the footsteps of the bus which is dangerous.
Maharaj also told the Minister that students from Navudi, Navai and Vunivere have to travel nearly one hour while standing in the bus to get to Seaqaqa Central College.
Sayed-Khaiyum assured the residents that they will find out about the school bus trips from the respective bus operators and will come up with a solution.
