Bedi had repeatedly approached GMADA officials, other authorities concerned, and even the Deputy Commissioner to operationalise the bus stand and repair the damaged road, considering public convenience and transportation needs. However, when no action was taken, he moved the court.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court Thursday directed all parties to find a resolution through mutual discussion in the public interest litigation related to the road adjacent to the Mohali bus stand.
The issue was raised in the High Court in public interest by Mohali Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi, demanding immediate commencement of the road adjacent to the Mohali city bus terminal and operationalisation of the terminal itself.
A Bench of Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sanjiv Berry adjourned the matter for August 29. The court directed that this case be listed immediately after the “urgent list” on the next date.
Only half of the road beside the bus stand is functional while the other half was occupied by a GMADA contractor in 2009. However, the entire stretch has now sunk badly, posing a serious risk of a major accident at any time.
During the hearing, advocates Ranjivan Singh and Risham Raag Singh represented Bedi.
Bedi had repeatedly approached GMADA officials, other authorities concerned, and even the Deputy Commissioner to operationalise the bus stand and repair the damaged road, considering public convenience and transportation needs. However, when no action was taken, he moved the court.
