Haryana Chief Secretary T V S N Prasad issued stringent directives to the civil and police administration to check within the next 10 days, the fitness of every school bus in their districts even as a committee was set up to probe the factors leading to the accident. 

The Haryana government has ordered a probe after a school bus carrying several children met with an accident, resulting in the death of six children and several injuries in Mahendragarh on Thursday.

Deputy Commissioner Monika Gupta said it was “a matter of grave concern” that the private school was being run despite it being a government holiday on account of Eid.
