The situation was chaotic in Lango sub region. Most of the students and pupils from there who study in Buganda kingdom schools remained stranded atLiraBusParkas there was no taxi or bus to take them.

Consequently many pupils and students who study in central region from northern Ugandan have not reported to school today as per the programme.

In Masaka, Mbarara, Nakasongola, Mbale, Jinja and Iganga among other districts the passengers blamed the taxi and bus operators of hiking transport fares. There was heavy deployment of traffic police along the roads to curb road accidents.
