Officials in the PWD said: “The project has been conceived to avoid frequent traffic jams on the Patiala-Rajpura road expected to be caused by the entry of vehicles into the bus stand.”

They said the PWD had earlier decided to widen the Patiala-Rajpura road from the Urban Estate chowk to the Choura road from where the buses would have taken a U-turn to enter the bus stand.
