Pathanamthitta Private Bus Stand Have Become a Pool of Dirty Water

The new Pathanamthitta Private bus stand almost look like a lake of dirty water which make the matter more worse for travelers. The road metals inside the bus stand have been scattered and as a result huge poth holes have developed in all areas of the private bus stand in Pathanamthitta. By the arrival of the monsoon in 2001, the state of the private bus stand in Pathanamthita have become even worse. The drivers of the bus which enters the bus stand have to show their skills  as they are forced to jump from one poth hole to another, risking the health of the travellers.

When the bus stand was inaugurated, it was initially filled with sand and then metal was covered over it. In the summer time, people had to fight it out with the heavy dust that prevailed inside the private bus stand in Pathanamathitta. The authorities had promised to tar the bus stand completely once everything was settled, but even after 3 years since the promise, nothing have done so far.

A total of 5 acres was taken by the Pathanamthitta municipality for constructing the new private bus stand. Most of the areas especially the boundaries of the bus stand are filled with thorny bushes which have not be ever tried to be cut down by the authorities. The Municipal council have decided to metal the bus stand shortly and a tender has also been given for the same.
