He said it was a 40-years old bus stand of the city, which should not be shifted without any consultation with the concerned transporters. He pointed out CDGK had planned to shift the bus stand to Razaqabad Inter-city Bus Terminal which would badly affect the business of transporters, plying their buses on this route.
He was of the view that before taking any step in that direction, the CDGK should have consulted with the association but it did not do so. This arbitrary decision by CDGK clearly showed it had nothing to do with the welfare or interest of the transporters and it was bent upon inflicting loss to private transporters.
He further recalled the earlier government also promised to provide them place at Gulbai Mauripur Road for the bus terminal and referred to a Sindh Government's letter in this regard. However, no step had yet been taken in that direction, he complained.
He also mentioned the transporters of the association were not ready to move at Razaqabad terminal and demanded instead they should be shifted to Gulbai Mauripur Road as was promised by the previous governments.
Besides, the association general secretary Mian Khan Rind, other office bearers of the association and transporters from interior also attended the meeting.
