Trichy: In its monthly meeting on Monday, the Trichy Corporation passed a resolution setting rent and deposit rates for shops at the Panjapur truck terminal, located on the Trichy-Madurai National Highway near the Integrated Bus Terminus (IBT). The local body has requested support from the Trichy city police to enforce the diversion of trucks and heavy vehicles currently parked on city highways and service roads to the new terminal. The council was informed that the terminal has 51 shops on the ground floor and 28 shops-cum-office spaces on the first floor. Rent has been fixed at Rs 132 per square foot, following government guidelines, while deposits range from Rs 4 lakh to Rs 10 lakh, depending on shop size (250 to 1,001 sq ft). The shops and amenities, including dormitories and sanitary complexes, will be leased out through a tender process. CPI councillor K Suresh emphasized the importance of police cooperation, stating, "If trucks parked on city roads are not regulated and diverted to the terminal, the project will fail."

Corpn floats tender for maintaining Panjapur terminus
Trichy: Trichy corporation has floated a tender to identify a private agency to operate and maintain the upcoming integrated bus terminus (IBT) at Panjapur for 15 years under public private partnership (PPP) mode. Amid concerns over outsourcing the maintenance of the terminus, the local body has introduced key performance indicators (KPIs) in managing the air-conditioned terminus built at Rs 246 crore, and any deficiency in the service will incur penalties for the concessionaire. The maintenance of the terminus includes overseeing electrical and mechanical equipment, waste management, parking management, and collection of rents from shops. The local body has suggested the private agency use automated number plate reading (ANPR) cameras to monitor the movement of buses and other private vehicles. The agency will submit a monthly report to Trichy corporation including one on complaint management. "The terminus will get a reception desk to guide passengers to the bus bays," said an official source. The concessionaire will set up water bottle and cloth bag vending machines in six locations inside the IBT. As per the agreement, the local body said the outsourcing agency will be penalized Rs 10,000 a day if the circulation area and platforms are not cleaned. The agency has to clean the common access areas three times a day. Lapses in waste collection will incur a penalty of Rs 2,000. The penalties will be increased by 15% once every three years. Penalties will be deducted from the payment to the agency for it services. However, no penalty has been announced for lapses in maintaining the air conditioning system.
