Leader of Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami, on Tuesday, criticised the DMK government for the reported move of shifting the proposed integrated bus terminus in Vellalore, Coimbatore, to a site near Avinashi- Tiruchi bypass.
In a statement, he said the original site had been chosen, given its proximity to the junction of NH-47 and SH-162 and the Podanur railway junction. Works were in progress over an extent of about 60 acres after floating bids for ₹ 168 crore. All this would go waste if the bus project’s site was shifted, he contended.
