Janakpur Bus Park Faces Neglect Despite Capital Status
Summary
Janakpur’s bus park remains unfinished and neglected years after construction began, leaving passengers to board buses from nearby chowks instead. Despite a large investment and promised modern facilities, the site is muddy, unsanitary and largely used only for vehicle parking.
Key Points
- Janakpur, the capital of Madhesh Province, still lacks a well-managed bus park despite years of construction work.
- The bus park area is muddy, foul-smelling and overrun with garbage, weeds and stray cattle, discouraging passengers from using it.
- Passengers now board buses from nearby chowks such as Bhamarapura, Ramananda and Pindari instead of the bus park.
- Officials say the contractor must finish the work by Poush or face contract cancellation and legal action.
