| Hoteliers welcome ban on buses at Railway Station | | |
Jammu, November 8,
All Jammu Hotels and Lodges Association has welcomed the action taken
by the Jammu Tawi Railway Station Authorities to ban the parking of
SRTC and private buses within the station premises, for picking up the
passengers either for Katra or for Srinagar etc.
In a press statement issued here today, Inderjeet Khajuria President
All Jammu Hotel and Lodges Association has said that it had been the
long standing demand of their association as well as all other tourism
related organisations, including the tourist taxi federation for
imposing ban on the J&K SRTC and private buses to pick up passengers
from within the Railway Station premises. Besides being security risk,
parking of the buses within the station, which was turned as an
alternative bus stand, was hitting hard the business of tourists
related trades, as hotels, lodges, restaurants, dhabas, dry fruit and
handicraft merchants as well as the taxi operators etc.
Mr Pawan Gupta, General Secretary, AJHL has asked the state government
to fully cooperate with the railway authorities in this regard and
implement the prohibitary orders strictly.
The association has also demanded that the road between Kunjwani
By-pass and Satwari should be widened to four lanes, so that the
vehicles coming from outside the state, after the completion of four
lane national highway road from Pathankot upto Kunjwani and then to
Nagrota, by passing Jammu city, can easily enter the city without
traffic hazards. The passengers should have the choice to enter the
city or travel by passing the city. |
