The terminal is closed after 5 pm even though it has to be open 24 hours a day. A number of multi-storey illegal shops have been built in front of the terminal where illegal drug trade takes place. Buses are parked outside the terminal as no parking space is available in the terminal caused by the illegal shops.[1] That results increasing of traffic jam in the area.[2] The terminal is in disuse due to illegal counters for long-distance buses in the city's Kolatoli Square.[3]
On 24 January 2020, a LPG station was opened at the terminal.[4] The terminal renovation and modernization project was inaugurated on the same date.[5]
