The School Bus Owners Association of Maharashtra declared an indefinite strike. The school buses amid the protest will not be operational from 2, 2025. 

The strike from the school bus operators comes in protest against the unfair issuance of e-challans by the traffic police and CCTV surveillance systems in Maharashtra. The move by bus operators, which comes just around the beginning of new academic sessions, has surely raised concerns among students, parents and even school administration. 

It has been reported that the Maharashtra government has proposed forming a committee to investigate the issue and submit a report within 30 days. However, with the new academic session underway and daily transport at risk, bus owners are seeking immediate and interim relief in view of this matter.
