KSRTC’s plan to build new bus stand at Bannimantap sparks debate
The HinduThe proposal to shift the KSRTC bus stand from its current location near the city center has sparked debate in recent days. While the KSRTC plans to construct a new bus stand at Bannimantap, several NGOs like Mysore Grahakara Parishat, civil society groups, and individuals have criticised the plan, calling it short-sighted and not adequately addressing the city’s long-term needs. In contrast, the suggestion made by the Samithi members to build the new bus stand near People’s Park or the government guest house has been dismissed as impractical and detrimental to the city’s green spaces and also as a violation of the law. While the KSRTC’s plan to shift the bus stand to Bannimantap may offer a temporary solution, the NGOs argue that it fails to address the city’s broader urban planning and sustainability challenges and urge the authorities to prioritise long-term growth and better urban infrastructure.
