**Namakkal, November 10, 2024:** The highly anticipated Namakkal New Bus Stand, inaugurated by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin a few weeks ago, officially opened its doors to the public on Sunday.

The state-of-the-art facility, constructed at a cost of ₹19.50 crore in Mudalaipatti, boasts 51 bus bays, 57 shops, two restaurants, three passenger waiting areas, a feeding room for mothers, a drivers’ resting room, a timekeeper room, and a parking lot accommodating 200 two-wheelers and 60 four-wheelers.

All mofussil buses are now operating from the new stand, with a digital board displaying arrival and departure times. Town buses plying between the old stand and Rasipuram will also use the new facility.
