The work of the PPP model bus station has not yet begun. Jagran correspondent, Rae Bareli. Transport Corporation Depot Rae Bareli is included in the 23 major bus stations of the state announced by the government in the year 2024, where a new bus station with modern facilities must be built. The government has set a cost of about Rs 80 crore for this ambitious project. The responsibility of implementing the project was presented to the executive agency Raj Lakshmi Enterprises. The measurement of land for the construction of the bus station is complete. In addition, geological soil investigation was also conducted before the construction of the proposed building with ten floors. The new bus station will be developed according to a PPP (public -private partnership) model, which will include passenger facilities as well as commercial facilities. Remove ad only read news in this proposed building, apart from bus operations, passengers get many modern facilities, including retail stores, multiplex, food court, toilets, drinking water system, waiting room, lift, escalator. The intention of the government behind this is to provide facilities such as airports to the passengers in the major cities of the state. However, the progress of the project is currently being brought to a standstill. The reason is that a temporary bus station could not be arranged for the new construction, thereby not moving the existing bus station. Until the temporary location is decided, the construction work will not begin. This temporary arrangement is at least two years so that the construction work can be completed continuously. Local people believe that if this project starts in time, not only will change the face of the district, but that new jobs will also be created. There are also many facilities available in one place for the passengers. Now it still needs to be seen when the transport department can get this ambitious project off the ground. Lakhs of the district citizens are eagerly awaiting the opening of this bus station. On the other hand, managing director Masoom Ali Sarwar says there is 9966 square meters of land at the bus stop, while the executive body had earlier had a problem with 1163 square meters of land, but after my order, the decision was made to establish a building of ten storeys at the bus stop itself. Soil testing was also done, but now we were transferred to another department. Those who will come into our place will be notified to speed up the work. A bus stop must be built here for a population of one lakh. It will be started at the old bus stop in Lalganj itself, for which work has been started. From where buses will soon start working. While land was selected in Dalmau, Unchahar, Maharajganj. While land has been seen in chhatoh. Regional manager RK Tripathi says that in the initiative to establish a new bus stop in the villages with a population of one Lakh, land was selected at the remaining places and the report of the depot officers was sought.
