Kulgam, April 4, 2025: Transporters operating from the Laroo Bus Stand in Kulgam held a peaceful protest today, highlighting the lack of essential facilities at the bus stand. The protesters expressed their frustration over the absence of crucial amenities such as drinking water, washrooms, and the deteriorating condition of the building.

The transporters, who depend on the bus stand for their daily operations, pointed out that despite paying significant fees to the Municipal Council for its maintenance, they are not receiving the basic services they need.

"We are paying a significant amount in fees to the Municipal Council, but in return, we are not receiving even the most basic facilities that are crucial for our daily operations," said one of the protesting transporters.

The protestors urged the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Kulgam and the Chief Executive Officer of the Municipal Council Kulgam to address the issue without delay, stressing the urgency of improving conditions at the bus stand.

Officials from the Municipal Council Kulgam visited the site and assured the transporters that the issue would be resolved soon, emphasizing the need for cooperation from the transporters during the process.
