More than two years after the work began, the ₹50.31-crore integrated bus terminus in Vellore is nearing completion.
With over 90% of the work, including the bus bays, parking lots, shopping complex, waiting halls and reverse osmosis water plants, completed, officials said the new terminus would be inaugurated by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on June 21, when he is scheduled to visit Vellore to open the new campus of the Christian Medical College in Kannigapuram.
“The entire bus terminus will be solar powered, supplying LED lights, fans and motor pumps. It will help save at least ₹2 lakh every month on power bills,” said P. Ashok Kumar, Commissioner, Vellore City Corporation.
