Due to the lack of quality bins, the newly erected bus terminal in Palayankode is in a deplorable state, worsening traffic problems and generating health issues. people have questioned whether the goal of the Smart City initiative is to waste crores of rupees without making any changes to urban transportation. The Rs. 1,000 crore Smart City project is conducting numerous building operations at tirunelveli Corporation.
The chief minister of tamil Nadu inaugurated the multi-crore tirunelveli Veynthankulam new bus terminal and the Palayankottai bus stand on december 8 last year. The video was started by Stalin. Palayankottai's Rs. 13.08 crore bus station has opened and is presently in operation. As a result, work on the commercial complex is still underway.
Palayankottai's bus station, which once housed a huge number of buses, has been demolished and replaced by a bus stop with only one or two buses. In this situation, the bus station, which was erected at a cost of billions, has devolved into a horrible state in a matter of months, causing social activists distress. They bought substandard large-data-sized plastic buckets without tying the standard trash cans and tied them with ropes to the poles inside the bus station. It has become the norm for stray dogs to drag these litter bins, which fill up daily, down and scatter the litter, causing health problems.
