Finishing touches: Work on modernising the city bus-stand has been taken up under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission.
Mysore: The city bus stand that is being modernised under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) will be thrown open for the public on September 15. Even as the deadline is fast approaching, finishing touches are being given to the bus-stand.
“We are at it and making all possible efforts to complete the remaining work at the earliest to facilitate its opening by September 15,” said Divisional Controller M.N. Srinivas.
He told The Hindu that curing work is under progress and finishing touches are being given. Besides a subway connecting the road adjacent to the bus-stand to the terminus is also almost ready.
The modernisation of city bus-stand is part of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation’s master plan to improve the city’s transport infrastructure. Besides the city bus-stand, under the JNNURM, mofussil bus stand is also being reconstructed and Inter-Model Transport Facility (IMTC) is also coming up at five locations in the city.
In the city bus-stop, five new platforms have been constructed. Drinking water kiosks, toilets, reservation counters, and other facilities will be provided.
