HP to resume inter-state bus services soon: Min

Shimla, Oct 7(UNI) Himachal Pradesh government is preparing to restart inter-state bus services that have remained suspended since March, Transport Minister Bikram Singh said on Wednesday.
“We will reach a decision in this regard within 10-15 days. We're holding talks with our neighbouring states regarding the resumption of services. Punjab and Chandigarh have already given a nod. We also approached the Uttarakhand government to restart the bus to Haridwar. They initially said it's not possible but are now considering it,” said Singh after chairing a meeting of the State Transport Development and Road Safety Council.
After the first lockdown in March, bus service within the state had resumed in June, but inter-state service has remained suspended so far. Mr Singh said that around 1,700 services within the state have resumed, including 15 night services, even though losses are being incurred on more than 50 per cent of the routes due to low occupancy.
