The children were on their way to home. The bus driver lost control over the vehicle after the bus hit a Santro-make car. The DPS Parents Association on today severly criticized the school management and accused them of ignoring their complaints and safety measures required to ensure safety of the school children. Dejected parents sought overhaul of the system in the school. "We are concerned about safety of our wards. This school is looting parents on the name of new schemes and time has come when whole Jammu must agitate the autocratic approach of private schools", they added.
