Kanpur: Various irregularities have been seen at the city's inter-state Jhakarkatti bus station. In his inspection even the divisional commissioner his expressed his serious annoyance.
When there is given so much emphasis on ways to control the virus, the Covid help desk was not involved in extending helping hand to the passengers at the bus station.
What remained more surprising was that the bus conductor was neither provided with hand sanitizer nor mask. The passengers and the roadways employees were also not wearing mask.
This deplorable condition existed when as many as thirty thousand passengers are daily commuting from this bus depot. Disclosing about the sanitizer the bus conductor told it was not given for the past several months.
Issuing a show cause notice to the depot ARM the Commissioner asked him to increase staff. He also instructed the officer concerned to make sanitizer available to every bus drivers, conductors and passengers.
Meanwhile the situation at Central railway station was also not too satisfactory. A target of 150 passengers for covid test take place daily so the health deptt teams deployed for this job conduct it in two different shifts. In the meantime the station director has said of possibility of increase in testing teams.
