India TV NewsSchool timings in Bengaluru are likely to change amid traffic congestion. Following a suggestion by the Karnataka High Court, the Department of School Education and Literacy is planning to advance the school timings by 30 minutes to one hour to decongest the roads in the city. Instead of changing school timings, parents, schools and other stakeholders suggested deploying more police personnel at major traffic zones near schools to help decongest the roads, according to the media reports. The Karnataka Education Department will hold a meeting tomorrow with the association of private schools, school vehicles association, and parents to discuss the school timings.
