Ujjain's Nanakheda Bus Stand is grappling with unprecedented challenges following the October 12 relocation of the Dewasgate Bus Stand. Designed to accommodate only 200 buses, the facility now houses an additional 150 buses, leading to severe parking issues and operational disruptions. With buses now required to park on roads and in residential areas, operators report increased fuel costs, with journeys to and from Nanakheda consuming up to eight extra litres of fuel per trip.
This has resulted in delayed schedules, inconvenience to passengers, particularly those from smaller towns, and heightened operational expenses for bus operators. The congested situation has prompted calls for the establishment of an alternative bus stand near Agar Naka, where a new facility could be built to better serve the growing demand.
