BJP MLAs Siddharth Shirole, Sunil Kamble and Madhuri Misal on Tuesday raised the issue in the Maharashtra assembly and demanded to shift the bus stand.

The bus stop was temporarily shifted due to underground metro at Shivaji Nagar. Since the work is now complete, there is demand to move the bus stop back as Shivaji Nagar is a convenient location for commuters. A meeting to take a decision on this will be organised soon.

Minister Dada Bhuse replying to the demand said, “There was an agreement that the metro would also develop the bus stop. Recently, on February 3, the Maharastra government conducted a meeting with Maha-Metro, and soon another meeting would be called to resolve this issue.”
