Integrated bus stand at Panjappur soon a reality

Minister proposes an integrated market for vegetables too at the site

Minister for Municipal Administration K.N. Nehru on Wednesday said that a proposal would be mooted immediately for construction of an integrated bus stand at Panjappur and an integrated market for vegetables at an adjacent location. As a prelude to the revival of the earlier proposal to set up an integrated bus stand at Panjapur on Tiruchi-Madurai Highway on the outskirts of the city, Mr. Nehru visited a site owned by the Tiruchi City Corporation at Panjappur. Accompanied by District Collector S. Sivarasu and Corporation Commissioner of Tiruchi S. Sivasubramanian, Mr. Nehru inspected the site and held a detailed discussion with them. Distance between the proposed site and the Central Bus Stand, merits and demerits of the proposed site, the land required for the bus stand, and commercial and practical viabilities of the new bus stand were among the factors discussed. After analysing various aspects of reviving the proposal, which was mooted during the DMK regime in 2006-11, Mr. Nehru visited the Tiruchi Corporation and held another discussion with them.
