LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Friday directed all schools to provide transportation for students after the upcoming winter vacation as part of measures to combat smog. During the hearing on multiple petitions regarding environmental issues, Justice Shahid Karim observed that students must be transported to and from their homes via school buses. “Schools failing to comply with the order will face closure,” the judge maintained. The judge also warned schools from sending notices to parents disclaiming responsibility for students’ transportation.
