Traffic Disruptions Limit Bus Services in Coimbatore
What happened
Traffic disruptions, caused by a massive landslip near Burliar last month, have limited bus services provided by Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation in Coimbatore. The Coonoor Consumer Protection Association is urging the Government of Tamil Nadu and TNSTC to operate additional bus services from the Kundah region to Coimbatore via the Manjoor–Ketti route until the Burliar route is restored.

Why it matters
The disruption limits the operational capacity of TNSTC in Coimbatore, forcing residents to travel to Kotagiri to board buses. The association noted that the heavy rush on existing services forces many passengers to travel standing.
