A multi‑crore bus terminal in Mohali has fallen into disrepair, prompting a petition that will be heard by the Punjab High Court on September 2.
The newly built bus terminal in Mohali, constructed at a multi‑crore cost, is reported to be in a state of severe neglect, with cracked platforms, broken shelters and inadequate lighting. Residents and commuters have complained that the facility, intended to serve as a modern transport hub, is now unsafe and unusable for many daily travelers.
A public interest litigation was filed in the Punjab High Court alleging that the authorities have failed to maintain the infrastructure despite the substantial investment. The petition seeks an immediate audit of the structure, repair work, and accountability from the agencies responsible for its construction and upkeep.
The High Court has scheduled a hearing for September 2, during which officials from the state transport department and the municipal corporation are expected to appear. The outcome could dictate whether the bus stand will undergo urgent renovation or face further legal scrutiny.
Local officials have acknowledged the deteriorating condition but have not provided a concrete timeline for remedial action. The case highlights broader concerns about infrastructure management and the effective use of public funds in the region.
