ISLAMABAD: The public transporters and citizens are facing trouble as the construction of new bus stand in I-11/4 is still not started.
According to plan, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) had approved construction of bus stands in I-11/4 in 2011, and existing bus terminals at Faizabad, G-9 Markaz and Pirwadhai were to be relocated to the new facility in I-11/4. About 164 kanals land were allocated for the project but work on the project has not yet started.
Islamabad Transporters and Passengers Welfare Association President told the state-owned news agency, the CDA board approved a plan for bus stand in I-11/4 in 2003. The transporters had to bear the expenditure of construction while the Directorate of Municipal Administration was responsible for ensuring basic facilities, including drainage system, water supply and security.
