Fleet of buses to ferry VVIPs at Digha
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|April 29, 2025
Around 150 govt buses, Volvos were pressed into service to ferry VVIPs as Mamata Banerjee arrives in Digha to oversee preparations at the venue
With the much-hyped inauguration of the Jagannath Dham in Digha of East Midnapore district scheduled on Wednesday, the state's transport department has decided to ply around 150 state buses, including the luxurious Volvos to ferry VVIPs, guests, and devotees between the venue of the event and their respective drop-points in the city and districts.
Most of the Volvos operated by the West Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC) have already been pressed into service to carry dignitaries, bureaucrats, and IPS officers to the venue from Monday.
Sources in the state transport department said that besides the Volvos, more than 100 non-AC government buses under the South Bengal State Transport Corporation (SBSTC) would ply between Digha and adjoining districts.
Requesting anonymity, the sources said that the state secretariat Nabanna and East Midnapore district administration have separately requisitioned the Volvo fleets for three days from Monday.
