Siliguri, 18th September: An alternative bus stand near Tinbatti More in Siliguri is expected to open soon, according to Mayor Gautam Deb, following his inspection on Wednesday.
The construction of this bus stand, aimed at alleviating traffic congestion in the city, began last year with the initiative of the transport department and the support of the Siliguri Municipal Corporation. Work was briefly halted due to legal issues with the railways but resumed later.
Reportedly, the bus stand is now nearing completion. Mayor Deb expressed optimism that both public and private bus services will soon operate from this location.
During his visit, he noted that the facility will accommodate more than 20 buses and includes all necessary arrangements for passenger convenience. The Mayor believes that the new bus stand will help reduce traffic congestion in the city.
