The Bus Stand, by its huge visibility, has to be a place teaching people the best good practices concerning cleanliness and waste in order to model a clean behaviour.

Actually, bus stations of NWKRTC, in remarkable contrast with surrounding train stations, are generally dirty with trash and spits spread all around.Toilets are dirty and without the proper facilities.There are no bins at the buses.There is no complaint book.Timetables are obsolete.

In 2016 we have requested to Divisional Controller to model public behaviour by promoting the cleanliness of premises and their environment through a strong action to tackle the problems spinning around the extremely critical sanitary conditions of the Bus Stand.

We have requested the urgent implementation of the Solid and Plastic Management Rules, namely by the survey, report and instruction of  corrective measures for Solid & Plastic Waste Management and sanitary conditions of the Bustand. 

During the 2 years passed we tried to beget the effort of Divisional Controller and Depot Manager to operate the needful changes, mainly through action in 3 fronts
