00 People of remote areas are getting transportation facility under Chief Minister Bus Service
Raipur. The Chief Minister Bus Service, started by the Chhattisgarh Government as an important initiative towards connecting the remote and border tribal areas of the state with the mainstream, is now running successfully in Narayanpur district. During his visit to the district, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai travelled in a bus with the villagers for about 4 km from Kurusnar.

The Chief Minister's travel by bus service underscores the scheme's credibility and people-centric approach. He also asked fellow passengers about the benefits the villagers have received from the resumption of bus service in this Naxal-affected area. The Chief Minister's visit and bus service is being seen as a powerful message of development, trust, and good governance in Narayanpur district. 
Currently, four buses operate under the Chief Minister's Bus Service in Narayanpur district, three of which provide regular transportation services on the Niyed Nella Nar route. These buses are providing access to transportation in areas that have been virtually deprived of public transportation for the past decade due to Maoist insurgency.

The first route is Narayanpur-Nelangur, benefiting the villages of Doomratari, Kukdajhor, Ankabeda, Kasturmeta, Mohndi, Kodliyar, Kutul, Bedmakoti, and Nelangur. The second route is Narayanpur-Kutul, providing transportation to Kachchapal, Kodliyar, and Kutul, along with the villages of Kurushnar, Basing, Kundla, Kohkameta, and Irakbhatti. The third route is Narayanpur-Garpa, benefiting the villages of Kurushnar, Basing, Kundla, Sonpur, Maspur, and Horadi.
This bus service is operated under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, with operations entrusted to a private bus operator, while the government manages route planning and monitoring. The primary objective of this initiative is to provide reliable, accessible, and safe transportation to marginalized tribal communities, promote social inclusion, and strengthen mobility and connectivity in the region.
