The district has all reasons to smile as it has got air connectivity but deficiency in a basic service — no bus service to Bathinda airport yet — is casting a shadow over the big project.
A few private buses are already designated on this route to Virk Kalan village where the airport has come up but the bus stop at this village is around 2 Km from the airport.
Recently, the Municipal Corporation had purchased around 18 new buses for the city, in addition to the 10 buses already plying in the city.
The 18 new buses are yet to be operational as they await inauguration. Though these buses were supposed to be inaugurated on the same day when the airport was opened, following the death of PRTC chairman, it was not done.
Virk kalan, around 25 km from Bathinda city, is out of Municipal Corporation limits.
Recently, the private bus union in Bathinda had opposed the plan of the PRTC and the Municipal Corporation Bathinda (MCB) to start these 18 new mini buses on routes where mini buses are already operational.
