After the two-day strike of the Ahmedabad School Vardhy Association, the government finally gave a 45-day window to the school vans and rickshaws to get permits, leading the association to call off the strike.

Ensuring the safety of children in the school van, the number of students will also be checked in the school vans. Only 6 children will be allowed to sit in 4+1 capacity in school rickshaws, 12 in 8, 6+1 in big four-wheelers,  and 14 in vans.

If there are more children than the decided capacity, a challan will be issued by the authorities. Currently, there are more than 15,000 school vehicles in Ahmedabad and more than 80,000 in the entire state.

The association demanded enough time for the drivers to get permits for school vehicles and went on strike on June 18 which concluded on June 19.
