Sylhet Bureau :
The Sylhet City Corporation (SCC) has started work on the project to improve the Sylhet Central Bus Terminal, located in Kodomtoli area of South Surma. The World Bank is providing Tk 1.25 billion assistance for the project.
The SCC Chief Engineer Nur Azizur Rahman told this correspondent that the project has been going on in full swing as the deadline ends in June 2020. We are trying to complete the works in time.
About a thousand buses start from the bus terminal everyday for various destinations in the region as well as to the capital and other districts. Established on an area of 7.5 acres of land on the Sylhet city’s South Surma area, the central bus terminal plays a key role in the region’s road communication.
But there had been no appropriate seating arrangement for the waiting passengers while the urinal and toilet facilities are worst as there is none to look into the affairs of the terminal’s management, alleged a number of transport workers and traders in the terminal.
On the other hand, there is none to take measures on the allegations of the passengers. Though some private operators have very limited and poor arrangement for their passengers, most of them even don’t bother in this regard. Over a hundred floating vendors also create much trouble while waste papers and empty packets are thrown here and there openly.
On the other hand there is no arrangement for cleaning the terminal area regularly causing much trouble for the passengers while the situation gets worse during the monsoon.
Taka 560 million would be spent for dumping ground while Tk 610 million is being spent for infrastructural works of the terminal.
