The dormitory, inaugurated by minister Anandamoy Barman at the bus terminus on Monday, has 14 beds for men and six for women. On the other hand, the Puja Parikrama service will be operated on Oct 14 and 15, with both AC and non-AC buses taking passengers to different pandals in the morning and evening, Barman said.
From Monday, a dormitory has been opened for general passengers,” Barman said. Barman said some of the new lounges will soon be equipped with air-conditioning. “This bus terminus is very old and passengers have been making several demands for a long time. It is not possible to fulfil all the demands at once. But ahead of Durga Puja, we have started work on meeting some of them.
