City officials in Amritsar have announced the removal of the BRTS corridor to create additional road space.
Amritsar municipal authorities have confirmed that the dedicated BRTS (Bus Rapid Transit System) corridor will be taken down. The decision was communicated to the public through a brief statement, citing the need to optimise road utilisation.\n\nThe removal is expected to free up several metres of carriageway, allowing smoother traffic flow and providing space for other urban mobility measures. Planners anticipate that the additional width will ease congestion during peak hours.\n\nLocal commuters and transport operators have been informed that the dismantling work will begin shortly, with minimal disruption to existing bus services. Officials said they will monitor traffic patterns closely and adjust road markings as required.
