Gonikoppa’s Hi-Tech Bus Stand Renamed in Honour of Kollimada Karumbaiah

Gonikoppa, June 11: The new hi-tech bus stand in Gonikoppa, the heart of South Kodagu’s commercial city, has been named after Kollimada Karumbaiah, a freedom fighter from Kotur village in Ponnampet taluk. This is a permanent tribute to those who contributed to the freedom struggle. This work has been appreciated by the public sector.

The bus stand will be inaugurated by MLA Ponnanna in a few days. For the past 10 years, passengers going to distant towns and local citizens here have been facing difficulties without a bus stand in Gonikoppa. MLA Ponnanna, who was a candidate in the last assembly elections, had promised to build the Gonikoppa bus stand in a hi-tech model. As promised, Ponnanna has taken special care and taken steps to build a good high-tech bus station, bringing in funds, thereby succeeding in realizing the decades-long dream of a bus station.

16 CCTV cameras have already been installed around the bus station to give more emphasis on safety at the Gonikoppa bus station. Clean drinking water is being arranged at the station to quench the thirst of passengers. Separate toilets have been systematically constructed.

The final stage of work is already underway, and work is being done day and night. The countdown to the inauguration has begun.

Inauguration in a few days: Ponnanna

The new bus station was planned to be inaugurated on June 2 by many ministers, including the then Chief Minister of the state, Siddaramaiah. Due to the change in the Chief Ministers in the changed political developments, the inauguration could not be possible. Now, MLA Ponnanna said that the bus station will be available for public use in a few days.

Statues of great personalities

Statues of great personalities are being erected in one part of the new bus stand. The grand statues of Bharat Ratna B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution, and M.A. Belyappa, known as the Gandhi of Kodagu, will be unveiled here. This will further enhance the charm of the new bus stand. The final phase of the work on the bus stand is also in full swing due to the efforts of MLA A.S. Ponnanna. It will be inaugurated soon, said Kullachanda Pramod Ganapathy, former president of Gonikoppa Gram Panchayat.
