Shajapur, Expressing dissatisfaction with the slow construction work of the local bus stand shopping complex on behalf of Bus Stand Traders Federation, the traders constructed a shop between the CMO Bhupendra Kumar Dixit and the traders by Mr. Dinesh Kumar Jain, the then Collector and Administrator of the Municipal Administration. In 18 months, by June 2023, citing the agreement made to return the traders by making shops. Handing over a memorandum to Municipal CMO Mr. Mahendra Pratap Singh Kirar along with Local Municipality President Mr. Prem Jain, Vice President Mr. Santosh Joshi and District Magistrate Mr. Kishore Kumar Kanyal on Tuesday, demanded to return the shop to the traders by completing the bus stand construction work soon. It was mentioned in the memorandum that there is only one month left in June 2023 and at present only 60% construction of the building has been completed. The construction work of second floor has been stopped for almost 2 weeks.

And the administration including the municipality is in a state of indecision whether the hall should be built on the second floor or the shops. Due to which the construction work is getting delayed further. The business of the traders was affected since the Corona period for 2 years and after that, due to the empty shops of the bus stand, more than 150 families doing business and working there are facing a livelihood crisis. Shops of traders doing business outside the bus stand including those doing business inside the bus stand have also come to a standstill due to the change in the location of the bus stand. And their business has also collapsed. Due to which they are also going through a period of financial crisis. At present, due to lack of sufficient space where the bus is being operated, a situation of controversy is arising every day. The passengers are neither getting toilet facilities nor are there proper arrangements for water and shade. Passengers, women and children are being forced to sit in the sun in the scorching heat. Along with this, the bus operators are also facing a lot of difficulties in the movement of more than 150 buses on the main road. Along with this, the residents of the city are also facing a lot of inconvenience due to non-availability of bus stand. And in such a situation, it is very regrettable that the construction work of the bus stand has to be dragged for a long time. The responsible people should pay attention to this and complete the construction work on a war footing within the stipulated time-frame, according to the agreement made with the traders, get them shops and the contractor to complete the construction of the bus stand within the stipulated time-frame. The point of directing has been mentioned in the memorandum.
At the time of handing over the memorandum, the President of the Merchant Association, former MLA Shri Arun Bhimavad, Secretary of the Merchant Association Umesh Taylor, Treasurer Rajesh Srivastava, Prashant Bhavsar, Omprakash, Jitendra Bhavsar, Vinay Bhavsar, Vijay Prakash Bhavsar, Prashant Bhavsar, Jitendra Bhavsar, Vinay A large number of traders were present including Bhavsar, Vijay Prakash Bhavsar Murli Bhatia ji's worship Shyamlal Ahuja, Trilok Rathore, Rakesh Bhatia, Ramprasad Ahirwar, Lokendra Bhavsar, Rahul Bhavsar, Ashok Kalathia, Lalit Bhavsar.
