State Bank Bus Terminal & The Retaining Wall of Nehru Park Gets a Fresh Look

The State Bank bus terminal and the retaining wall of Nehru Park abutting the terminal gets a fresh look as volunteers of Swacch Mangalore Campaign of Mangalore Ramakrishna Mission undertook the 5th month’s Shramadan in the locality on Sunday, February 11.

The about 200 metre-long retaining wall had become a public urinal even as parked buses adjacent to it offered people cover from the public gaze. The exit of the bus terminal too had been stinking of urine and other wastes.

Though Mangaluru Smart City Ltd. did attempt to renovate the bus terminal with new passenger shelters and bays, the area lacked cleanliness.
