EPS urges Govt. Not shifting the site of Coimbatore Integrated Bus Terminus

Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Tuesday criticized the DMK government for its alleged move to shift the proposed integrated bus terminus in Vellore, Coimbatore to a site near the Avinashi-Tiruchi bypass.

In a statement, he said the original site was chosen considering its proximity to the junction of NH-47 and SH-162 and Podanur railway junction. Work was in progress in about 60 acres after issue of bids worth ` 168 crore. He said that if the bus project site is shifted then all this will be in vain.
