Following the directive of Virudhunagar Collector V.P. Jayaseelan, buses plying on Madurai-Tiruchendur route were stopped by ticket-checking inspector on the Madurai-Thoothukudi by-pass road at Kariyapatti to ensure halts for the benefit of passengers, on December 17.
Kariyapatti Town Panchayat chairperson R.K. Senthil complained about lack of bus stop at Kariyapatti for the moffusil buses which were run between Madurai and Tiruchendur as these buses don’t enter the town ply through the fourway by-pass road.
Passengers of Kariyapatti who were bound to Tiruchendur had to go all the way either to Aruppukottai or the Aviyur toll gate to catch buses proceeding to Tiruchendur.
