To deal with the issue of traffic jams near the old bus stand in Thanesar City, the local MLA has proposed to shift the existing bus stand to a land of Kurukshetra Development Board near BR International Chowk.
Thanesar MLA Subhash Sudha has submitted a proposal to Haryana Transport Minister Mool Chand Sharma for the construction of a new bus stand. As per the information, the minister has directed the official concerned to examine and put up the file in a week.
Subhash Sudha said, “Due to constant traffic jam near the old bus stand, a large number of people had been approaching me and demanding the shifting of the bus stand. Commuters have been inconvenienced. We assessed the situation and also talked to officials in the Transport Department. I have submitted a memorandum to the Transport Minister in which we have demanded shifting of the old bus stand and construction of a new bus stand near BR International Chowk where ample vacant land of the Kurukshetra Development Board is available.”
“We have apprised the minister about the inconvenience being faced by the locals. The site proposed in the memorandum is suitable for this project. There is a vegetable market, a grain market, Kurukshetra University, National Institute of Technology, Brahma Sarovar, and other religious places, near the proposed site. The project can provide a huge relief to the city from constant traffic jams”, he added.
Chief Executive Officer of KDB Anubhav Mehta said, “We are yet to receive any communication in this context as it will come through a proper channel.”
