# Jammu and Kashmir residents demand restoration of Smart City bus service to Manigam 2026-08-09T23:50:18+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Residents of Manigam, Haripora, Arhama, Yarmuqam and adjoining areas in Jammu and Kashmir have demanded the immediate restoration of the Smart City Bus service that used to operate between Batamaloo in Srinagar and the Police Training School (PTS) at Manigam. A delegation of residents said the sudden withdrawal of the service has disrupted daily commuting for hundreds of people, especially students, government employees and police personnel at PTS Manigam. They stated that the bus provided an essential link between rural areas and Srinagar city, and its absence has forced commuters to use costlier private transport, placing an extra financial burden on families. The residents have appealed to the Transport Department and Srinagar Smart City authorities to restore the service at the earliest. ## Coverage - greaterkashmir.com Tags: commuters, Jammu and Kashmir, Manigam, public transport, Smart City bus, Srinagar Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/jammu-and-kashmir-residents-demand-restoration-of-smart-city-bus-service-to-manigam/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
