SRINAGAR: After the completion of the route integration plan, traffic authorities in Kashmir are ready to commence bus services on 11 routes in Srinagar, officials stated on Monday.
The Regional Transport Officer (RTO) for Kashmir, Syed Shahnawaz Bukhari, announced that they are prepared to initiate the bus service on 11 routes with a fleet of 185 minibuses. Officials from the department and transport associations will be present at every station..
“We have completed the route integration process and from tomorrow we are going to start a full-scale bus service on 11 routes,” he said.
The RTO Kashmir has sent a letter to all Mini-Bus Transport Unions/Associations instructing them to operate Mini/Medium-Buses on specific routes from 04-04-2023 between 8:00 am to 7:00 pm. The letter also requires the vehicles to display a Route Plate indicating the route number, measuring at least 1 foot by 9 inches.
“As far as your internal arrangements are concerned, you may pool in your vehicles onto these routes in the proportion of your existing vehicle fleets affiliated with respective unions/associations. It may also be noted that this route arrangement is also subject to change, on working efficiency, on public review and feedback,” stated the letter.
The RTO Kashmir revealed that they have incorporated 10 JKSRTC buses on some routes, in addition to privately-owned mini buses. “The service will ply at a time interval of every 15-20 minutes on all routes,” he said, emphasizing the convenience for commuters. “I want people to come and avail of the services.”
The RTO authorities in Kashmir have allocated 45 minibuses for circular route number seven (07), running from Qamarwari to the cement bridge, Noorbagh, Seki Dafar, NawaKadal, Rajouri Kadal, Bohri Kadal, Khanyar, Dalgate, Residency road, Lal Chowk, H.S.H.S, Jahangir Chowk, Batamaloo, Bemina crossing, and back to Qamarwari. “According to the newly framed integrated route plan,” this arrangement was made.
Additionally, the route plan specifies that 10 minibuses have been assigned for route number three (03) from Pantha Chowk to Soura, and 20 minibuses for route number four (04) from Chadoora to Soura. Moreover, 15 minibuses are allocated for route number one (01) from Budgam bus stand to Hazratbal, 10 minibuses for route ten (10) from Panthachowk bypass to Narbal passing through the bypass road connecting JVC and children’s hospital, and 20 minibuses from Parimpora to Hazratbal.

[ad_1]
New York: A 47-year-old Indian-American data analyst was killed on the spot after being struck by a bus at Boston’s international airport where he had gone to pick up a friend, according to a media report.
Vishwachand Kolla, originally from Andhra Pradesh, was an employee of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company.
He was at the Logan International Airport, Boston to pick up a visiting musician from the airport travelling to Boston when the incident took place on March 28, US media report said.

Massachusetts State Police said Kolla was at the lower level of Terminal B to pick up a friend around 5 p.m. when he was struck by a bus.
“Kolla was standing on the driver’s side of his Acura SUV while, simultaneously, the Dartmouth Transportation motor coach was travelling on the roadway. The investigation indicates that the middle of the bus made contact with Kolla and dragged him along the driver’s side of his SUV,” State Police spokesman Dave Procopio said in a statement.
An off-duty nurse rushed to help Kolla but he died at the scene, the report added.
Troopers interviewed the bus driver, a 54-year-old woman, and inspected the bus. She has not been charged at this point in the investigation, the report said.
The passengers were quickly rushed off the bus and their luggage was moved to another part of the airport.
In a statement, Dartmouth Coach said, “Our deepest sympathies are with everyone impacted by this evening’s incident at Logan Airport. We’re working in conjunction with the Massachusetts State Police and Massport to gather further information.”

Kolla worked at Takeda in the company’s Global Oncology division. Takeda industries told Boston.com in an email that they are “deeply saddened to learn of his unexpected passing.”
“We send our heartfelt condolences to Vishwachand’s family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time and will be looking at how we can help offer any support as we respect the family’s privacy during this time,” they wrote.
Meanwhile, Kolla’s relatives have set up a gofundme page USD 406,151 raised of USD 750,000 goal.
Kolla is survived by his wife, and two sons, according to the page.
