A transport manager is designated for student security, and only drivers with clean records are allowed. Interaction between drivers and students is limited, and mobile phones for emergencies are provided. Student feedback is encouraged. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in the cancellation of school affiliation.

Safety at Public Places
The organization highlights the importance of safety in public places, especially cinema halls, malls, and commercial establishments. Despite existing safety laws and regulations, many of these venues are ill-prepared for unforeseen disasters, such as fires, earthquakes, or man-made incidents. Some even neglect basic safety and hygiene standards, putting visitors' health and personal safety at risk. The organisation emphasizes that in the event of a disaster, it's often the victims who suffer the most. To mitigate this, individuals should follow safety rules, act swiftly in emergencies, and pay special attention to girls' personal safety in public places. It provides practical tips, including safeguarding belongings, maintaining personal space in crowds, checking for fire safety systems, and being alert to exit routes to prevent stampedes. The key message is to remain calm and take cautious, informed actions to ensure public safety.
