Chhapra: Chhapra is finally set to get a permanent bus stand of international standard. Tenders for the construction have recently been issued. Currently, private buses park haphazardly along roadsides, leaving passengers without basic amenities such as waiting halls and washrooms.Saran DM Aman Sameer has approved administrative sanction for Rs 19 crore to construct a three-storey bus stand.Zila Parishad chairperson Jai Mitra Devi said the district board had allocated the funds to the administration. “There will be separate terminals for district, state and interstate buses,” she said.The DM said special attention had been paid to passenger amenities. About five acres of land have been earmarked in Ratanpura under Karinga Panchayat for the project. The design includes two entry and two exit gates, and separate lanes for taxis, rickshaws and autos.Facilities will include a feeding cabin for infants, a public address system, ATMs, a cafeteria and other passenger conveniences.
