SAMBA: District Development Commissioner Samba Rajesh Sharma inspected the progress of works at the new bus stand coming up at Thandi Khui- Vijaypur. The upcoming facility is expected to play a significant role in enhancing the region's transportation network and supporting the convenience of local commuters and travelers.

During the visit, the District Development Commissioner examined the current status of the project and assessed the construction quality and adherence with the approved plans. While considerable progress has been made, certain setbacks stemming from previous land issues and necessary design adjustments have slightly affected the original timeline.

Acknowledging these challenges, the DDC emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum to ensure that the revised timeline is met. The project, which includes spaces for commercial activities and passenger amenities, is part of a broader effort to upgrade regional transit infrastructure and improve the commuting experience for residents and visitors alike. Public facilities such as these are viewed as essential investments in the district's development and every effort is being made to deliver them as efficiently as possible.
