Shahapur Busport Delayed Seven Years, Deadline Set For December 2026

Shahapur Busport Delayed Seven Years, Deadline Set For December 2026
Shahapur Busport Project Stuck For Seven Years, Maharashtra Minister Sets December 2026 Deadline · freepressjournal.in

The Shahapur bus stand is being rebuilt because the old one became unsafe.

The government approved the new busport in 2017.

Its foundation stone was laid in 2018.

The first contractor finished only about 30% of the work.

Another agency was then given responsibility, but construction remained slow.

Passengers now wait under a temporary shed that does not protect them well from bad weather.

Buses also travel through the market area because there is no separate route, causing traffic jams.

The transport minister has ordered officials to finish the busport by December 2026.

Local people are waiting to see whether this deadline will be met.
