A city school has provided its fleet of five buses to ferry people to vaccination centres in the absence of public transport.
Swarnim International School said several companies were trying to make arrangements to get their employees vaccinated but did not have vehicles to take them to these centres.

“We offered our buses to the public to help them reach the vaccination centres in a safe way,” said Swati Sarawagi, the director of Swarnim International School in Sonarpur.
In the last two weeks, about 1,100 people have used this service to reach the vaccination centres from their doorstep.
Since schools are shut since March last year because of Covid, buses have been lying idle across campuses.
