However, the State Government has yet to develop a proper Inter State Bus Stand on the modern pattern.
It is rather a practice of private bus operators to park their buses on the road rather than taking them inside the Bus Stand. Whereas, the concerned authorities was not doing anything for maintainence of the parking order in and around the bus stand and its beautification.
All the inter- state buses also use BC Road as parking slot instead of using the inside the Bus Stand.
It is a long pending demand of the people that government should either construct a modern Bus Stand on the pattern of Inter State Bus Terminals (ISBT) constructed in other states or streamline the system to maintain the order.

Locals alleged that there was no proper stand for mini and other buses, owing to which passengers from different areas facing a lot problem.
When contacted, Jammu Development Authority (JDA) Chairman, Vinod sharma said they were taking steps to maintain bus stands and had sent a proposal to transport commissioner to make the alternative arrangement for those who park buses outside the Bus Stand.
