Bus to Nepal on cards

Dehradun, February 24 

The Uttarakhand Transport Corporation will soon start a bus service to Nepal under the Indo-Nepal Friendship Bus Service. An agreement was reached during a  meeting in Kathmandu.

The bus service being contemplated  will  commence between Mahendra Nagar   to New Delhi via  Banbasa (Kumaon) and Dehradun to Mahendra Nagar and finally between Haridwar and Nepal Ganj. 

“An agreement has been reached with Nepal but the details such as the routes, type of buses, etc  are still to be worked out,” said B Kumar Sant, MD of the corporation, who participated at the meeting. He said the service would not only usher in road  connectivity between the two countries, but also provide facilities for residents  who have relatives in Nepal. — TNS
