Bhubaneswar:30/1/24: At the direction of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, Chairman 5T, and Nabin Odisha Kartik Pandian conducted a site visit to the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT), Baramunda, in the early morning today.

The purpose of his visit was to assess the progress of various ongoing activities aimed at ensuring the early operationalization of the facility.

During the visit, Pandian took stock of the facilities provided for commuters, including waiting areas, sanitation facilities, bus bays, upcoming F&B outlets, lighting installations, and restroom facilities.

He appreciated the Operation Control Centre ( OCC) and advised to give tech-savvy and involved leadership to man the OCC.

He asked BDA team to expedite the remaining finishing activities and get it ready to dedicate to the people of Odisha by mid-February 24.

Spanning over 15.5 acres of land, the ISBT Baramunda project, spearheaded by the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA), aims to offer a range of passenger amenities, office spaces, parking facilities, food courts, restaurants, and commercial areas. The feel and experience will be that of an airport.
