To keep tabs over underage driving in the city, the UT Education Department has asked all schools to constitute a road safety committee to identify students driving vehicles. It is a good initiative. It is commendable that the UT Administration and the traffic police are taking strict action against underage driving, which can become a cause of road mishaps. —Vidya Sagar Garg, Chandigarh
