Shifting of Taxi stand lamented by masses and transporters.

 

CHITRAL: Residents of Chitral as well as transporters and Driver union

strongly lamented shifting of present flying coach stand for Peshawar

and down districts to an unsafe and risky place on the bank of Chitral

river. Mumtaz Khan president all drivers and transport union and Zahir

Shah Manager of Peshawar Bus stand at Kroprasht Bazar said that the

present taxi and flying coach stand for Peshawar is situated in a very

feasible and suitable place which is not causing for any problem in

traffic. They said that there are 10 toilets, lady waiting room and

other facilities for passengers. And it also near to city and

passengers can reach their house by feet without spending extra money

for hiring taxi. They said that some time flying coach reached to

Chitral during midnight and passengers can get a taxi easily from this

Bus stand or from nearby petrol pump as city is situated on walking

distance but in case of shifting Bus Adda across the River at Danin,

passengers will face a lot of problems. They will pay some 300 rupees

extra to a taxi car to reach the Bus stand because it is situated on a

distance from market and populated area. They said that not only the

proposed bus stand will create problems for passengers but it also

very dangerous because of situating on River bank and in case of flood

passengers and vehicles can wash away. They said that we have legal

license from Provincial Transport Authority but the present

administration and Tehsil Municipal Officer disturbing us

unnecessarily. They appeal chief minister Khyber Pahtonkhwa Amir

Haider Khan Hoti for solving their problem and stop district

administration from disturbing them otherwise they will be compelled

to came on roads and also to block the roads in wheel jam protest. It

is worth to mention here that the proposed flying coach has already

been announced for Truck stand two years ago but Truck owners not

accepting it and they still stand on main roads causing for traffic

jam.
