People from different villages of Ganderbal complained that hundreds of students are being seen stranded at bus stands and on road sides during morning and evening hours.

Shah urged authorities to arrange special bus services for the students from Bus stand Ganderbal to different routes in the afternoon so that students would not stuck at roads anymore. He said if 3-4 buses are kept available for students service, it would definitely ease the sufferings of the students living in far off areas who travel to main town for the educational needs. Shah also appealed GM SRTC to consider the public sufferings and start some special bus service to facilitate the stranded rush of poor people who are seen on roads waiting for long hours for their busses.
