Kerala: When this private bus didn't stop for school students, the principal taught the driver a good lesson
Dr Sakeer, principal of PTM Higher Secondary School near Perinthalmanna in Malappuram district, went out on the road to block a speeding inter-district that was not stopping at the right place to take his students home. He stood in front of the private bus, warned the crew to go slowly past the institution, and even demanded a stoppage at the school bus stop, according to a PTI report.

Students in many small towns and even metros find it difficult to board private buses to reach their destination.
It happens on a daily basis because private buses can only charge a concessional fare to students. And despite several complaints to authorities, the problem continues unabated in many places.
But when a school principal from a district in north Kerala was made aware of the issue through multiple complaints, he took the matter into his own hands.
Dr Sakeer, principal of PTM Higher Secondary School near Perinthalmanna in Malappuram district, went out on the road to block a speeding inter-district that was not stopping at the right place to take his students home.
He stood in front of the private bus, warned the crew to go slowly past the institution, and even demanded a stoppage at the school bus stop, according to a PTI report.
The praiseworthy act was caught on camera and shared online.

The clip shared on Facebook by MediaoneTV shows the principal walking up to the bus and then arguing with its driver. A roar of appreciation is heard in the background as he stands in front of the bus before telling the driver to go take his students.
Towards the end of the clip, students are heard clapping and rejoicing as they boarded the bus.
The incident occurred near PTMHH School in Thazhekode, Malappuram on Thursday morning.
Dr. Sakeer also made sufficient arrangements on the highway as an earlier attempt by him failed to stop the speeding bus at his request.
Local people said there were several complaints of over-speeding by the private bus earlier also.
After the clip went viral online, the principal earned plaudits for supporting his students.
