Foundation stone laid for new bus terminus at Tiruverumbur

Minister for Municipal Administration K.N. Nehru and Minister for School Education Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi laid the foundation stone for the construction of a new bus terminus at Tiruverumbur in Tiruchi on Saturday.

A sum of ₹6.10 crore had been sanctioned for the project under the Sixth State Finance Commission Grant 2025–26. The bus terminus will be built on an acre of land near the existing bus stand and is expected to serve as a major transit hub for the newly added wards in the area.

The terminus will include parking bays for 10 buses, space for 16 shops, a security room, a TNSTC room, timekeeper rooms, a feeding room, sanitation facilities, seating arrangements, surveillance cameras, and drinking water facilities.

New office for CEO

Earlier, the Ministers inaugurated the new office of the Chief Educational Officer (CEO) at Cantonment in Tiruchi. The CEO office, which earlier functioned from the Periyar Maligai, had been operating from the Parents Teachers Association building at the Syed Murthuza Government Higher Secondary School in Marakadai since 1991.

Collector V. Saravanan, Mayor M. Anbazhagan, and Corporation Commissioner L. Madhubalan were present.
