Punjab News: Punjab’s Minister for Rural Development and Panchayats, Tarunpreet Singh Sond, while replying to a Call Attention in the Vidhan Sabha, informed that the Talwara bus stand building will be revamped in coordination with the Transport Department.
The issue was raised by the MLA from Dasuya, who highlighted the dilapidated condition of the bus stand building in the Talwara block. In response, Sond stated that currently, the Panchayat Samiti does not have sufficient funds for the new construction of the bus stand. Until the new building is constructed, necessary repair work will be carried out using Samiti Funds or grants under the 15th Finance Commission to keep the bus stand functional.
He further added that the Transport Department had issued an administrative approval of Rs. 2.62 crore for the new construction of Talwara Bus Stand in 2021, but the work could not proceed due to non-receipt of funds. Now, efforts will be renewed to coordinate with the Transport Department for the upgrade and improvement of the bus stand.
