On record
Meant to replace the Putli Ghar and Nadra bus stands and cut congestion in central Bhopal by handling roughly 150 buses, the project has run more than five years past its original timeline and over three years past its revised deadline. Despite officials claiming 80% completion, passenger platforms, roofing, and finishing work remain unfinished, and contractors are pressing the municipal corporation for site handover to release pending payments.
The official record states: "Assistant Engineer KC Gupta stated construction was "almost complete" and expected handover "next month", a claim repeated without the facility materializing."
“Three phases, seventeen crore, five years, and the buses still stop at Putli Ghar.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Three phases, seventeen crore, five years, and the buses are still pulling into Putli Ghar.”
“Officials say eighty percent complete. The missing twenty percent is the platforms, the roof and the finishing.”
“The engineer has been promising handover next month for long enough that the contractors are now chasing their payments instead.”
