Kolkata: The state transportation department said that he would continue to operate the bus to North Bengal, including rocket bus services, although some staff were influenced by Covid-19.
The possibility of bus services temporarily stopped has caused concern between traders who regularly travel between Siliguri and Kolkata.
As a rather difficult train reservation in this sector, bus services act as a lifeline for traders.
“Bus services between Dharmatala in Kolkata and Tenzing Nory Bus stand in Siliguri will still have not changed,” said a transportation official.
He, however, acknowledged that NBSTC, like some of the governments and other private organizations, struggled to function normally in the midst of increasing Covid cases that have overwritten many employees.
