Deputy Commissioner Nadeem Nasir says the 280-kanal facility could be transformed into a modern terminal with improved amenities and stronger revenue generation.
RAWALPINDI: The Rawalpindi administration has unveiled plans to transform the Pirwadhai Bus Stand into a modern, state-of-the-art transport facility equipped with improved amenities and designed to generate higher revenue.
The proposal was discussed during a meeting between Rawalpindi Deputy Commissioner Nadeem Nasir and a delegation of local traders led by Anjuman-e-Tajran Rawalpindi President Abdul Ghafoor Paracha.
The meeting covered several major urban issues affecting the city, including traffic congestion, parking shortages, the Pirwadhai Bus Stand, Raja Model Bazaar, the Raja Bazaar parking plaza, loading-vehicle operating hours, sewerage and rainwater drainage.
According to the deputy commissioner, the Pirwadhai Bus Stand covers approximately 280 kanals, but its existing revenue generation does not match the potential of such a large facility.
The administration’s proposed revamp is therefore aimed at improving the terminal’s overall facilities while also making better economic use of the site.
The plan is part of wider discussions on improving Rawalpindi’s urban infrastructure, transport management and public facilities. Further details about the design, timeline, estimated cost and construction arrangements were not provided in the report.
