Merchants who depended on Koyambedu were in tears

CMBT Bus stand has been shifted from here so the flower business is totally bad. Tons of everything has been dumped.

The change of this bus station could have been done gradually, it could have been implemented for some time and changed little by little.

Due to the immediate change, the business of the flower shop, which used to live by waiting for the bus traffic, is completely bad today.

FLOWER MERCHANT MUKAIYAAH

Therefore, we kindly request that with the intervention of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, this Koyambedu bus station and Kelambakkam bus station should be mixed in half and share the livelihood for a while by leaving the buses and establish procedures and then change them altogether.

Small traders are completely affected. All those who relied on it for business are starving today.

If more time passes, their livelihood will be completely destroyed. People who believed in it and were selling fruit, fruit and flowers along the roadside with their babies have been completely affected.

Taking this into consideration, the Chief Minister kindly expressed his wish that it would be very good if the Koyambedu bus station could be operated half of the time and Kelambakkam and Koyambedu would be operated with a good intention to make this flower shop, flower business, fruit and fruit business possible. We pray and ask.

Koyambedu is affected. People are suffering, we are suffering, business is gone. Is Kelambakkam bigger than the 292-acre Koyambedu bus stand? For what needs to be changed, half can be kept there and the half can be kept here.

They have spent 400 crores on building an unnecessary bus station . Jayalalithamma built this bus stand by spending 100 crores. It changes unnecessarily and people come and go without anyone.

Politicians and film actors and actresses are comfortable . The people are degenerate and disorganized. This is my opinion. People coming and going are also in trouble. Merchants are in agony.

Before the opening of Kelambakkam bus station, the broker came and ask 3 crores for the shop at the bus station.

If you pay 3 crores to buy a shop then after 10 years, They will put them in mathuranthagam. How many people are suffering at Koyambedu bus stand?

Government is bad government, government is not a good government. If it is a good government, they will not spend 400 crores and change the bus stand.

Koyambedu Bus Stand was built on 292 acres at 105 crores. Bigger than Kelambakam. 400 crore was wasted and an unnecessary. The Tamil Nadu government has hurt people’s feelings.

To go to the city-town-village, people get off the bus and buy everything and go to the city. Especially, it was easy to get the customer in Marriage(Mugurtha) days.

Now you have taken the bus stand and put it in Kelambakkam. How difficult it will be for people to come here and go.

Livelihood has just begun. From now on, the damage will be more. If you want a bus to run 100% in Kelambakkam , think 25% – 30% in koyambedu. That is what we are telling the government.

Now you have taken the bus stand and put it in Kelambakkam. How difficult it will be for people to come here and go.

How to make a claim for common people. Only you who are on a bigger level should think about it and Take it to the right persons and add it

Business was good earlier but now it is not like that. There was a bus and people going to town would buy vegetables due to low prices.

No bus, less people. When there is a bus, we will take 500-800 for expenses. If I get 1000 per day, we will pay 200 rupees for expenses and give 800 rupees to the house.

People come and buy and go, now there is nothing. It’s been 8 days since the cargo of alcohol and nothing.

We have fought for everything, there is no chance, the rulers of the past thought that the people should be good and we should be good, but now it is not like that, it has become family politics as father, me, next grandchild.

“No one should earn money”,
“My family is fine, that’s all.”
“I have 10 people around me, and those 10 people are good enough.”

Politicians are like this now. They don’t care what people are earn.

The government will not do anything, Thalaiva! They will just said we will do, that’s all.

They receive the Aadhar card and photo from us, money will come, prepare a receipt as giving money to the people and we have your Aadhar card and photo here, they will eat 8 and leave.

They will not do anything on demand.

There is no chance in this government that it would be better if another government came.

Since the bus station is gone, we have no business, we have taken a loan, no business here, nothing here.

When that bus stand change, we were just standing there doing no business. Earlier it used to be 2000-3000 business per day but now it is not even a thousand rupees, only 500-600 rupees earn per day.

The government does not help the poor people, the government does not give loans to the small farmers, they say if we go and ask for a loan, bring them, invite someone.

Whom to go and fetch. Even if a small farmer goes and asks for a loan, the government will not give it. Get someone to support you! There is no support to bring anyone!

Let’s hire a cab for 1000 rupees a day, but now it is very difficult to get even 300 rupees. The family will stay in the middle of the street. Why is it so difficult for me to buy what my children’s are asking for?

Government should take good decision favors of all auto workers. No matter how much we protest from CIT, no one takes any action.

The bus station has been changed to Kalampak, all the auto drivers are suffering a lot. Because of this we don’t have a daily ride and the net income has been affected and the government should decide something.

Koyambedu bus stand has shifted to Mathavaram, Kelambakkam and thus we have lost our livelihood.

If Stalin gives an announcement that they will install meters, it will be an opportunity to connect the cab.

It would be better if there was half a bus to Koyambedu and half a bus to Kelambakkam. There is a lot of pressure here, so they have changed it. Our demand is that if meter is given then everyone can get livelihood.

There is no need for a corporate entity to come here.

If you give a meter, if you see this and stick to it, all the common people will come. Rides will come wherever you go, regardless of the bus station.


For Auto Driver

Kelambakkam is the next district, Kelambakkam is not a district of Chennai.. People are suffering a lot because they are leaving the district. Koyambedu was once like that. Is it okay to go?

I don’t know if people are going to live by suffering? they have started their livelihood either through some contract or by relying on this. I don’t know what they are going to do about the alternative arrangement. They all live in Chennai and they have to leave early in the morning.

Even if you can get a ride from there, it is very difficult to go home and waste petrol and diesel. There is a lot of trouble and people follow the bus from Kelambakkam .

Those going to Vadapalani from here can take an auto for 50 rupees.Coming from Kelambakkam will cost extra time and money.
If they take a taxi from there, they ask for a thousand rupees.

Coming off the kelambakkam means extra time and extra money will be taken.

From there, the bus cost is 500/- rupees to go to the town and 1000/- rupees to reach Vadapalani from Kalampakkam.
How much the common people here are affected by this.

Auto driver live by this. Can he leave with his family from here?

No income, regular income is gone. This government has come up with a monthly loan model.

The income has already gone by giving free buses, now the bus station has been changed.

After this, we are just washing without survival. I think we will mourn the next bundle.

What to do if there is no income per day.

This is our business!
Taking business away from us!
Where to go if the livelihood is taken away!
