Budget hotels for tourists at Delhi bus depots

"Both the departments have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), aimed at full utilisation of available permissible spaces in the existing bus depots for their modernisation. The passengers will also get facility of retail outlets and amenities," said the official.
