Renovation of Hubli bus terminus faces deadlock
Shares

In Hubli, renovation of the decades-old City Bus Terminus (CBT) at Bandiwad Agasi is in pending despite the government sanctioned funds and released work orders. When the government came under public pressure, the North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation decided to give a facelift to the CBT and called for tender for the construction of a five-storey building at the terminus.

The work was awarded to a Hyderabad-based construction company. However, the work which was awarded six months back, is yet to start. Technical problems are cited as reason for the delay in starting the work. According to sources in the police department, police have objected stating that the NWKRTC authorities should make proper additional parking and stoppage facilities for buses before taking up the construction work.

At present, CBT area is very congested and there will be traffic gridlocks once work is started. Hence, the police department is objecting to the work, said the sources.
