*Telangana, Peddapalli district, Ramagundam, September 28 (TTN24 NEWS): Telangana state Bureau Chief Nallapu Thirupathi*
The bus shelter at FCI X Road in Ramagundam has fallen into a deplorable condition, causing severe inconvenience to passengers. Hundreds of people wait at this busy junction every day to catch buses to various destinations. However, the lack of proper seating and basic passenger amenities has forced them to stand by the roadside while waiting for buses.
◆ *Is This Really a Bus Shelter?*
Passengers say that the existing bus shelter has deteriorated due to a lack of proper maintenance. The absence of adequate seating, the dilapidated condition of the shelter and the poor upkeep of the surrounding area have added to their difficulties.
Passengers are being forced to wait in the open, exposed to scorching heat and rain, until their buses arrive. Elderly people, women, children and those with health problems are facing particular hardship.
◆ *Is This the Kind of Public Facility People Deserve?*
Passengers are questioning the lack of even basic amenities at a major junction used by hundreds of people every day. They have urged the authorities to address the issue immediately and provide proper facilities for commuters.
Passengers have demanded that the authorities construct a new, modern bus shelter instead of limiting the solution to temporary repairs. They have also sought basic amenities such as comfortable seating, protection from rain and heat, drinking water and adequate lighting at night.
◆ *When Will the Authorities Wake Up?*
Passengers have urged the authorities and public representatives to inspect the FCI X Road bus shelter immediately and take concrete steps to construct a new facility.
The fact that passengers do not even have adequate shelter while waiting for buses raises serious questions about the availability of basic public infrastructure. Passengers have demanded that the concerned departments conduct an immediate field-level inspection, sanction the required funds and commence the construction work without further delay.
◆ *“No more assurances—we need a new bus shelter at FCI X Road,” the passengers said.*
