For the benefit of the public going to their native places on the occasion of Pongal festival, 240 special buses have been operated from Coimbatore to other districts from today onwards.


Coimbatore: During holidays like Pongal and Deepavali, a large number of people visit their native places. Since those working in private and government offices are given holidays for up to a week for the Pongal festival, a large number of people flock to their native places.
