Residents of Gagangir village in Ganderbal district have urged authorities to extend the mini bus service to their area, citing daily hardship due to the lack of affordable public transport.
Locals said the mini bus service currently operates only up to Kullan, leaving Gagangir and adjoining areas without reliable mass transit. “There is no mini bus service in our village. We suffer daily without it,” said Ishfaq Ahmad, a local resident, adding that patients and elderly people are the worst affected.
Residents said most villagers cannot afford high cab fares and appealed to the ARTO Ganderbal for immediate intervention to extend the mini bus route from Kangan to Gagangir, hoping the issue will be addressed without further delay.
