Transport Minister R.S. Rajakannappan has warned omni bus owners against collecting inflated bus fares from passengers travelling to their native places for Deepavali.
Speaking to reporters in Tirunelveli on Wednesday after chairing a review meeting , Mr. Rajakannappan said, “Fleecing of passengers by private bus operators will attract punitive measures, including imposition of hefty fine and seizure of buses. Regional Transport Officers have been instructed to conduct surprise checks across Tamil Nadu to prevent fleecing.”

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
