Indore, New Dunia Rep. The Municipal Corporation has built a new building of Sarwate Bus Stand by spending Rs 15 crore and preparations are on for its inauguration. But in such a big project, arrangement for water recharging has not been made. On the one hand, the municipal corporation does not give the no-objection certificate to the building owners without water recharging management in private buildings, on the other hand, it is negligent in its own building itself. It has been connected with storm water line to drain rain water from the roofs of the bus stand. Apart from this, there are many flaws which are raising questions on the plan of the corporation itself.
Now there will be only one lift
Earlier a five-storey building of Sarwate Bus Stand complex was to be prepared. In this, there was a provision to build a hotel and dormitory on the floor above the bus stand, but due to lack of budget, the corporation has prepared only a two-storey building. Four lifts were to be installed in the five-storey building, but now only one lift will be installed. The three ducts left for the lift have been closed for the time being.
parking too small
Basement parking in multi-storey buildings is generally kept at a height of 20 to 21 meters so that vehicles can pass easily. The height of the parking entrance at Sarwate Bus Stand has been kept at 17 meters. In such a situation, cars will be able to enter, but ambulances or vehicles whose height is high, they will not be able to enter the parking lot. In this regard, the officials of the corporation say that we have shortened the entrance of the parking lot for this reason so that big vehicles cannot go inside. Only cars and two wheelers can be kept in the parking lot. Apart from this, all the male toilets here have been made in the western style. In such a situation, the people coming here who need Indian style toilets, they will have to worry.
rain water will go to storm water line
According to Shailendra Gudegaon, Project Consultant of the agency that built the bus stand, the bus stand complex is completely cemented. In such a situation, it is not possible to do water recharging here. The rain water here will go into the storm water line. Apart from this, rain water has also been connected with boring. In such a situation, no separate arrangement for water recharging has been made here. The height of the entry to the basement is sufficient. Vehicles like Innova will also be able to enter here easily.
Will make water recharging pit on vacant land
Now a two-storey building has been built, due to which only one lift has been installed here. A water recharging pit will be made by digging a pit on the vacant land in the campus. The pillars built in the parking are at a very high height, so there will be no problem in the entry of vehicles. If there is a problem, it will be rectified there.

water recharging should be done
Along with the social for water recharging, there is also a need to increase technical awareness. It should be included in the policy issue. Due to this, whenever government sector buildings are constructed in future, arrangements will be made for water recharging there. When the completion certificate is not given to the private buildings by the corporation without making arrangements for water recharging, then how will the corporation itself be able to start using the bus stand building which is being built.
