With the road adjoining the Interstate Bus Terminus-cum-Commercial Complex in Phase 6 remaining damaged for over three years, the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) held a meeting on Tuesday to find a permanent solution to the issue, following Punjab and Haryana high court directions.
Rishi directed the officials concerned to prepare a concrete and practical plan for a permanent solution, making it clear that the matter could no longer remain confined to discussions and meetings. The deteriorating road is directly linked to commuter safety and required urgent intervention. The matter subsequently reached the high court. Following court directions, GMADA began bringing various stakeholders together to find a solution.
The meeting, chaired by GMADA chief administrator Sandeep Rishi at PUDA Bhawan in Sector 62, was attended by representatives of the municipal corporation (MC), GMADA’s legal adviser, companies associated with the bus stand project and former Mohali deputy mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi, who had approached the high court over the road’s condition. The officials have also been directed to hold another meeting before the next court hearing on September 2. In 2025, representatives of the Mohali MC, traffic police, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and companies associated with the bus stand project were also called for discussions.
Administration will have to place before the high court details of the action taken so far and the proposed plan to resolve the issue.
