Asia’s biggest, but not well-connected yet

Posted on Wednesday, 4 January 2012 by Punjabi Articles


Passengers say that rationalising the timing of some trains can prove helpful 

Asia's biggest railway junction -Bathinda railway station--- could be made more acceptable if the railways "rationalise" the timing of some trains passing through the station to ensure better connectivity here.

The station sends and receives trains from altogether six directions.

Though over 62 trains pass through the station and 20,000 passengers use the station daily, the station is yet to be termed as a well-connected station. It may be mentioned that the station caters to the need of the Malwa region to a great extent.

Posted on Wednesday, 14 September 2011 by Punjabi Articles


Fourteen transporters from Mansa today lodged complaints against the District Transport Officer (DTO) for issuing challans and impounding buses after they refused to give vehicles for the rally of the SAD-BJP at Mansa today.

In their complaint to the Election Commission, Governor, Chief Minister and the Deputy Commissioner, the transporters alleged that the buses were impounded following their refusal.

Raj Singh of Jhunir Transport alleged that eight buses were impounded today. Some of these are parked in government depots and some in private houses as well. He said the eight buses were impounded today following the refusal of the transporters to give buses for political rallies

Raj said the small transporters with one or two buses were the worst affected as the department officials threaten them with impounding buses without any rhyme or reason. Raj Singh said he has 11 buses and usually gets orders for buses to ferry crowds to various rally venues.
