School bus operators in the tri-city of Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali called off their strike on Monday. The school buses will ply as usual from today.

On Monday, all private buses engaged in ferrying schoolchildren in the tri-city went off road as protest against the recommendation made by the Child Rights Commission on Saturday to book the transporter as well as the administrator of Stepping Stones School, Sector 38, in connection with the alleged molestation of a five-year-old girl by the conductor.
