AMBALA: In some relief to female students and women of Ambala, the district administration would be flagging-off 9 pink buses on the International Women’s Day and these buses will run on city service routes in Ambala City and Cantonment areas, told the Haryana roadways officials.
As per the information, Haryana state legislative assembly speaker Gian Chand Gupta is likely to flag-off these pink buses on Sunday.
The local residents demanded special bus service for the female students and women for a long time and a total of 9 buses have been given to Ambala.
Ambala being an educational hub for its nearby areas, a large number of students visit here every day from rural areas for study purposes. These buses would benefit the female students of colleges, industrial training institutes, and polytechnic colleges in Ambala city and cantonment areas.
Sources told during the morning and evening rush hours these buses would be run especially for the female students and during the other hours these would run for the women passengers.
Ambala district information and public relations officer Dharamvir Singh told, “As per the official information, Haryana Assembly speaker is likely to flag-off these 9 pink buses on Sunday, as he would be visiting here for an event with regards to the International Women’s day.”
On the other side the Ambala residents have welcomed this development by the government but they feel that 9 buses are less for the female students as these would hardly accommodate around 500-600 students at a time. As the number of female students who are using public transport in Ambala is much higher.
When asked about the routes of these pink buses, Ambala City sub-divisional magistrate (SDM)-cum-Haryana roadways Ambala general manager (GM), Gauri Midha told, “A total of 9 pink buses would be running for city service especially for female students and ladies. These buses would run on the determined routes. We are making efforts that Haryana Assembly speaker flags them off on Sunday.”
