Ferozepur, March 11, 2025: Punjab Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar flagged off a new direct bus service from Ferozepur to Dera Beas today. The Punjab Roadways bus was officially launched from the Ferozepur City Bus Stand, with Ferozepur City MLA Ranbir Singh Bhullar also present at the event.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister Bhullar stated that a large number of people from Ferozepur travel to Dera Beas, and there had been persistent demands for a direct bus service on this route. To address this need, the government introduced the new bus service to ensure convenience for passengers. The bus will operate via Zira, Tarn Taran, and Jandiala Guru before reaching Dera Beas. He also announced that permits for a Ferozepur-Patti route would be issued soon, followed by a bus service from Fazilka to Dera Beas.
During the launch, the minister interacted with passengers, who expressed their gratitude for the new service. He reiterated the Punjab government's commitment under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s leadership to addressing public demands and resolving issues. He emphasized that the AAP government is dedicated to public welfare, having been entrusted with governance after people rejected traditional political parties.
Bhullar also highlighted the state's ongoing anti-drug campaign, which has resulted in significant drug seizures and the arrest of smugglers over the past 10 days. He urged the public to support the initiative by reporting any drug-related activities to the police, ensuring a safer future for Punjab’s youth.
MLA Ranbir Singh Bhullar thanked the transport minister for the initiative, calling it a significant step for the people of Ferozepur. He announced that the bus would depart from Ferozepur Bus Stand daily at 4:30 AM and return from Dera Beas at 1:00 PM.
