Crores of rupees have been released for the construction of a roadways bus station in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh after 27 years. This step has been taken after a long-standing demand of the local people.
After 27 years, budget was received for the roadways bus station
A roadways bus stand has not been built since independence. Due to this, buses ply haphazardly on the highway. This leads to traffic jams and accidents.On the demand of the local people, Minister of State for Higher Education Rajni Tiwari had sent the proposal for the roadways bus stand to the government.
The Nagar Palika Parishad has unanimously passed the proposal to give land near Janta Dharm Kanta on Hardoi Road. The initiative of the administration to provide better transport facilities to the passengers of Sant Kabir Nagar has started showing results
where Rs 15 crore has been released for the construction of roadways bus station and workshop in Mirganj of the district.
At the same time, five crore rupees have been sanctioned for the renovation of Mukhalispur bus stand. People hope that their problem will be solved soon. Now the government has approved this proposal and released crores of rupees.
After the release of this amount, the construction work of the roadways bus stand will start soon. Buses will be operated in a systematic manner. This will reduce the traffic problem. Passengers will get the opportunity of safe and convenient travel.
Local business and employment opportunities will increase. The construction of the roadways bus stand is the result of the long-standing demand of the local people.This will not only solve the traffic problem but will also contribute to local development. This project will be implemented soon with the funds released by the government.
New facilities started for passengers
Due to this, the buses of the Transport Corporation do not stop in the premises, due to which the people of this area were facing a lot of problems. Now the administration has provided five crore rupees for this as well. This has raised hopes of improvement in the transport system. The district was formed in the year 1997.
Since then people have been demanding a bus depot. Many times the administration has marked land for this and sent a proposal to the government, but every time some obstacle comes in the way.Due to this, people had to wait for buses under the open sky, facing the brunt of the weather, at the temporary bus stand built on Mendhwal bypass for about 27 years.
Meanwhile, the administration marked land near Mirganj for the bus depot and workshop of the Transport Corporation and got it registered in the name of the Transport Corporation in the Khatauni.
After the land hurdle was cleared, the administration sent a proposal to the government, after which a budget of Rs 15 crore was made available after its approval. Along with this, Mukhalispur bus station has also become very dilapidated.
The main reason for the delay in construction work is the buses not being shifted to the depot temporarily.However, now this process has been approved and the construction work has gained momentum. Iron pillars and structures are being prepared.
Due to which the speed of the project has improved. The construction of the roadways bus stand is an important step for the passengers which will give them a better and convenient travel experience. Despite the challenges in the construction work, the officials are trying to complete the project on time and provide high quality facilities to the passengers.
