WATCH: Kerala school principal stands before bus to ensure it lets his students board

In perhaps a never-seen-before view, principal of a Kerala's PTM Higher Secondary School stood in front of a private bus to let his students board it.

The private buses in Kerala tend to avoid students due to concessional fares, which often makes it difficult for the children to commute.

The viral video from Malappuram has earned Principal Sakeer plaudits, as netizens hail him for standing up for his students. He can be seen arguing with the driver to allow the students to get into the bus, who eventually agreed.

The principal reportedly received several complaints about student's tribulations to reach home and how the buses won't stop near the school.

The widely circulated slip shows Sakeer furiously arguing with the bus driver, and later goes in front of the bus with his arms wide, finally forcing the driver to take the students along.
