ITANAGAR, Jun 30: The Arunachal Pradesh State Transport Service’s (APSTS) Itanagar Station Superintendent (SS) Tuter Dolum on Saturday urged parents of schoolchildren using the APST’s bus service to guide and take good care of their wards.
During a meeting with parents of students of Kendriya Vidyalaya I and II who use APST bus service, Dolum said it is necessary that there is coordination between the parents and the APSTS, and that parents offer suggestions from time to time.
