A non-functional government aided middle school in Vallalar Nagar near Sathuvachari in Vellore on the Chennai - Bengaluru Highway (NH: 48) is being demolished for a week to make way for the construction of a swanky bus bay with shelters for commuters to board buses on the highway.
The new bus bay is one of the 15 such bus bays that will be coming up on the highway between Krishnagiri and Walajapet (Ranipet district), a distance of 148 km, in the coming weeks to provide permanent shelters for commuters, especially women and children, to board buses safely on the service lanes of both sides of the highway.
