Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The operation of long distance buses from newly-built Nayta Mundla Bus stand will begin from September 8 instead of September 1. The reason behind the delay is stated to be non-completion of the approach road.
Collector Asheesh Singh informed about it on Saturday. By carrying out strict action at the beginning of the month, the district administration had banned the operation of long distance buses from the central part of the city. It was creating a huge traffic congestion in those areas, from where these buses were being operated.
Collector Singh had given ultimatum to travel agencies to shift their offices outside the city or operate buses from Nayta Mundla bus stand. Accordingly, the construction of the approach road began right after that by removing hurdles.
Collector Singh said that the construction of the approach road has not been completed by August 31. Thus the operation of buses from new location Nayta Mundla Bus Stand is being deferred till September 8. The operation of buses going towards Mumbai will also begin from there within September 8.
