Ahamed to open new bus terminal

KASARAGOD: The concept of private participation in infrastructure development on build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis seems to be all set to make a foray into the construction and management of bus terminals in the State with the inauguration of the bus terminal of Chenkala grama panchayat here.

Chenkala panchayat president Aayisha Cherkalam said when inaugurated, the terminal would be the first bus terminal in the State built and operated by a private investor for a panchayat.

At a press conference here on Thursday, she said Union Minister of State for Foreign Affairs E. Ahamed would inaugurate the terminal at a function on August 11 at 3 p.m.

Revenue Minister K.P Rajendran would preside over the function. IUML district president Cherkalam Abdulla will inaugurate the shopping complex at the bus stand.

The estimated cost of construction of the terminal situated on a 1.5 acre plot was Rs.3 crore, he said.
