The process for shifting of the Badambadi bus-stand to Khannagar in Cuttack began on Saturday with the district administration conducting a site visit.
Accompanied by other officials, Collector Bhabani Shankar Chayani visited slums and the Biswanath Library near Khannagar Ring Road to identify 30 acres land for construction of the proposed new bus-stand. The Collector had a discussion on relocation of the slums, the park and the library.
Following the site visit, the Collector would prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) and submit it to the Government soon, sources said.
Meanwhile, the slum dwellers have strongly resented their relocation while students visiting the Biswanath Library have demanded construction of a new library before its demolition.
On the other hand, works for renovation of the Puri and Angul bus-stands near Pala Mandap at Badambadi began on Saturday. The administration plans to complete the work within a month.
