Kancheepuram civic body gets land for bus stand
The Kancheepuram municipality’s initiative to secure around 50 acres of land at Sitherimedu near here on lease for setting up a modern bus stand has elicited favourable response.
The civic body wrote a letter recently to the hereditary trustee of Kolla Singanna Chettiar Charitable Trust (KSCTT), Kancheepuram, Kolla Venkita Kannaiya Chettiar. The letter sought his consent to lease out 52.66 acres of land, abutting the Chennai-Bangalore National Highway and owned by the Trust, to the municipality for 99 years for the construction of the bus stand.
Subsequently, the KSCCT hereditary trustee responded positively through his representative stating that the land could be taken on long-term lease by paying Rs. 2000 per acre per annum as lease amount.
The resolution was passed at the municipal council meeting, chaired by the municipal chairman Mythili Thirunavukkarasu, here on Tuesday.
