Inaugurating the new bus stand, he said soon after the DMK came to power in 2006, it had announced to build 53 bus stands in town panchayats and municipalities across the State. The Hosur bus stand was the 25th one. The construction of the other bus stands would be finished in another two months.
The Hosur Municipality would get Rs. 1.20 crore as revenue a year from the new bus stand. This would enable the municipality to become self-reliant, Mr. Stalin added.
