Mozari Bus Stand in Amravati Turns into Hub for Anti-Social Activities, Raises Security Concerns
Amravati, Maharashtra: The Mozari Bus Stand, a crucial transit point on the Amravati-Nagpur National Highway, has come under scrutiny after empty liquor bottles and used condoms were found scattered across its premises. The discovery has raised serious questions about the security and maintenance of the bus stand, which is operated by the State Transport (ST) Corporation.
Located near the Mozari Police Station, the bus stand is a major hub for buses connecting various parts of Vidarbha. However, recent findings suggest that the area has become a hotspot for anti-social activities, with locals expressing concern over the lack of surveillance and cleanliness.
Discovery of Empty Liquor Bottles and Condoms
During a routine inspection, empty liquor bottles and used condoms were found in the bus stand premises, sparking outrage among residents and commuters. The presence of such items has led to allegations that the bus stand has turned into a gathering spot for anti-social elements, despite the presence of security personnel and its proximity to the police station.
A local resident, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “It is shocking to see such activities taking place in a public space like the bus stand. The authorities must take immediate action to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the area.”
Questions Over Security and Administration
The discovery has raised questions about the role of the ST Corporation and the local police administration in maintaining security at the bus stand. Despite being a high-traffic area with regular bus services, the lack of proper surveillance has allowed anti-social activities to flourish.
Suraj Dahat, a reporter covering the incident, highlighted the gravity of the situation. “The Mozari Bus Stand is a vital transit point for thousands of commuters daily. However, the presence of liquor bottles and condoms indicates a severe lapse in security and maintenance. The administration must answer how such activities are taking place right under their noses.”
Locals Demand Immediate Action
Residents of Mozari have demanded immediate action from the authorities to clean up the bus stand and enhance security measures. They have also called for regular patrols and stricter enforcement of rules to prevent such incidents in the future.
“The bus stand is a reflection of our town. If it remains neglected, it sends a wrong message to visitors and commuters. We urge the administration to take swift action and ensure that such activities are curbed,” said a local activist.
Authorities Under Pressure
With public pressure mounting, the ST Corporation and the local police administration are now under scrutiny to address the issue. The proximity of the bus stand to the Mozari Police Station has further intensified the criticism, as locals question how such activities could go unnoticed despite the presence of law enforcement.
The incident has also highlighted the need for better coordination between the ST Corporation and the police to ensure the safety and cleanliness of public spaces.
What Next?
As the controversy unfolds, the focus now shifts to the administration’s response. Will the authorities take immediate steps to clean up the bus stand and enhance security, or will the issue be swept under the rug? For the residents of Mozari, the demand is clear: strict action and accountability.
