ISBT to operate fully shortly: Transport Minister

Guwahati, Mar 14 (UNI) The Inter-State Bus Terminus(ISBT) on the outskirts of Guwahati, along National Highway 31, would be fully operational after the construction of a linking flyover was completed.

Informing this during Question Hour today in the state Assembly, Transport Minister Chandan Brahma said the National Highway Authority of India had undertaken construction of a flyover to link the ISBT with the NH so that regular traffic was not disrupted.

The ISBT, built at a cost of Rs 26.58 crore, was inaugurated by the chief minister before the National Games.
