Bus stand lacks amenities
Dera Bassi, August 5 They rued that they had repeatedly raised the issue of constructing a new bus stand but the authorities concerned had not taken any step. They added that some private bus owners and taxi owners are misusing the bus stand. Commuters wait on the National Highway for long route and local buses, which also becomes the cause of accidents. Due to the defective sewer system, the sewerage always flows at the bus stand, residents further added. The residents also demanded the removal of illegal encroachments near the bus stand. Thousands of people, who visit here, are harassed due lack of proper arrangements of sitting, and drinking water.
