Cooch Behar: The North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC) has taken the initiative to refurbish the ‘New Bus Terminus’ in Cooch Behar, spending approximately Rs 70 lakh.

Partha Pratim Roy said: “Several works have been started. A new building will be constructed and adjoining buildings will be renovated. Various works, including a new traffic control room, drainage system, drinking water facilities and electricity system, are being done.

In addition to providing proper service to the passengers, the work will facilitate the staff’s operations.
