Bus stop needs police presence: Bawa

 The Gordon bus stop and market area needs police presence, National Capital District  Metro Supt Andy Bawa says.

Overcrowding and busy traffic in the bus stop area and along shops prompted  concern about  public safety and  Bawa said the situation had to be looked at closely about regular police presence.He said the situation would be addressed  after consultation with the Gordon police station commander.

The temporary Unagi Oval bus stop once provided space for PMV buses and commuters. 

It was closed off before the Pacific Games opening ceremony last Saturday.

Bawa said after talks with the Gordon police station commader and the officers there, they would increase police presence there.

“Public safety is our concern and we will put in place more officers there,” Bawa said.
