Guwahati Bus Sheds Criticized Over Lack of Promised Amenities
Imagine new bus stops were built in your city to make waiting for the bus easier and safer.
The city promised these stops would have things like security cameras and maps to help you.
But, people are upset because the new bus stops don't have these things, and they aren't being kept clean.
People feel unsafe at night.
Students and people new to the city have a hard time figuring out the bus routes because there are no maps.
The city officials say they will fix these problems soon and add what they promised.
Newly constructed bus sheds in Guwahati face criticism for missing promised amenities and poor maintenance.
The Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) launched the project to modernize public transport.
Residents complain about the absence of features like CCTV cameras and route maps.
Poor maintenance is evident in areas such as Six Mile and Maligaon.
GMC stated that concerns will be addressed in an upcoming review meeting.
