Rajpura Bus Stand: Abandoned Into a Vehicle Dumping Ground — photo 1

On record

The New Rajpura Bus Stand was inaugurated on NH-1 but was never adopted for actual bus operations; carriers kept stopping at Gagan Chowk instead. Over a decade on, the site has degenerated into an informal vehicle-repair yard and dumping ground for broken trucks, overrun with wild grass, with PRTC even disclaiming ownership of the facility.

The official record states: "The PRTC chairman stated the bus stand "does not come under the PRTC," leaving responsibility for its upkeep and use unresolved between agencies."

“Inaugurated on the highway, ignored by every carrier, and now a repair yard with a bus stand's signage.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“The PRTC chairman says the bus stand does not come under the PRTC, which explains the grass.”
