60 buses remain off roads
Indore: About 60 suburban buses plying between Indore-Dewas remained off the road on Wednesday following a ruling of Dewas collector on stoppage of suburban buses in Dewas town. On account of strike, passengers travelling from Indore to Dewas and vice-versa had to suffer from inconveniences but they made up for their inconveniences by travelling by other buses bound for other towns and cities. Dewas collector in an order issued on Tuesday had directed all the suburban operators to operate from Vikas Nagar bus stand from Wednesday onward, instead of running their buses from the existing bus stand in the city. The bus operators opposed this decision and went on strike from Wednesday. According to President of Suburb Bus Association, Ritesh Pal, More than 60 buses run on Indore-Dewas route everyday. He said the collector’s ruling will badly hit the business of bus operators of Dewas as they get passengers from Mahatma Gandhi bus stand only. The operators will not get passengers from Vikas Nagar bus stand which is located far away, Pal said adding that the ruling will only cause huge loss to the bus operators.On Wednesday, a delegation of the Suburban Bus Association also met Ujjain divisional commissioner and submitted a memorandum to him seeking a status quo and withdrawal of the Dewas collector’s ruling.
