“We are also working on a plan to develop the route for the bus service,” the officer said.
According to him, Rs 250 to Rs 300 will be the per person cost to avail of the bus service. Other than taking them to the above-mentioned spots, each passenger will get a breakfast and lunch packet as well as a bottle of drinking water.
Sources said on the Ranchi-Patna highway near Urwan lake resort close to Tilaiya Dam, the district administration is planning to use 6 acres of land lying vacant.
