Coimbatore: The public detained a bus in protest at the vehicle's non-operation via Naickanpalayam. Naickanpalayam panchayat, located near Periyanayakanpalayam in Coimbatore, is home to almost 15,000 people.
In the steep parts of Palamalai alone, there are around 2,000 Adivasis.
Government buses travel between Coimbatore and Periyanayakanpalayam. Buses run from Mettupalayam to Karamadai and Periyanayakanpalayam.
In this situation, the government bus no. 2 from Mettupalayam has not arrived for the last ten days.
People in this area were impacted as a result of this. The public objected to Naickanpalayam panchayat president Shanthipriya about this.
Following this, a petition was made to the branch manager of the Mettupalayam State Bus Corporation, but the bus did not arrive on time, and the bus was taken into custody by the public led by the panchayat president at roughly 10.30 a.m. today.
Branch manager Prakash and Periyanayakanpalayam inspector Damodaran, who both raced to the scene, spoke with members of the public. The bus was then released.
