No opinions sought for constructing integrated bus station at Vellalore

Coimbatore: MLA N. Karthik has questioned why the site for setting up an integrated bus stand at Vellalore was decided in a hurried manner without consulting the stakeholders.

Coimbatore: MLA N. Karthik has questioned why the site for setting up an integrated bus stand at Vellalore was decided in a hurried manner without consulting the stakeholders. 

Accusing Minister SP Velumani for taking hurried decisions on major projects, MLA Karthik pointed that without resolving the waste management issue in Vellalore dump yard, the bus stand will do no good to the people.  

The MLA visited the Rs.165 crore worth integrated bus stand project and alleged that there is no road connectivity to the proposed bus stand from various areas of the city and the roads in Vellalore are also in a very bad state. 

The MLA expressed his disapproval for hurriedly laying foundation stone for the integrated bus stand without analysing the pros and cons. 

"Only after resolving the dump yard issue, work should commence for the bus stand. Else, the passengers at the bus stand will be exposed to foul smell and infectious diseases", the Singanallur legislator urged.
