High Court Slams UP Officials Over Unchecked AC Sleeper Buses Following Noida Tragedy
In a scathing rebuke of Uttar Pradesh's transport regulations, the Allahabad High Court has raised serious concerns about the operation of AC sleeper buses in the state. Justice Saurabh Shyam Shamshery has ordered state officials to submit an affidavit detailing the number of sleeper bus permits issued in the last three years and whether safety standards were verified before these permits were granted.
This demand comes in the wake of a tragic incident in Greater Noida, where the lack of proper checks and untrained staff has been highlighted as critical failures. Citizens are left wondering: what safety measures were promised, and why were they not enforced?
As the deadline of October 13, 2026, looms, the pressure is on officials to ensure accountability and transparency in the transport sector. The question remains: will the state take action to protect the lives of its citizens or continue to ignore their safety? As reported by NDTV.
