A passenger shelter located near Dhankuria village on the Khesar-Phullidumar main road in Phullidumar block of Banka district is in a completely dilapidated state, posing a significant risk of collapse. One of its pillars has already broken and fallen, rendering the entire structure unstable and creating a potential for a major accident.

Local villagers stated that the shelter was constructed decades ago but has not undergone any repair or maintenance for years. The roof and pillars are severely damaged, causing passengers to avoid using it. Commuters waiting for buses or other vehicles are forced to stand under a tree at Dhankuria Chowk. Residents expressed concern that this is a busy route, with a large number of students, women, the elderly, and other passengers commuting daily. The dilapidated shelter has become a serious threat to public safety.

Local residents have urged the district administration and the concerned department to immediately remove the dilapidated shelter and construct a new, safe one in its place. They emphasize that this action would prevent potential accidents and provide passengers with a secure waiting area.
