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.
