THE demolition of the over five-decade-old building that still houses the Ernakulam KSRTC bus station will get under way soon, and a new terminal, to be modelled after the Vyttila Mobility Hub, will be set up on 2.9 acres of land at Karikkamuri. However, no ownership of land will be exchanged with the Vyttila Mobility Hub as decided earlier.

This was decided at a high-level meeting led by Industries Minister P Rajeeve and Transport Minister K B Ganesh Kumar in Thiruvananthapuram.

"The order directing demolition of the old building will be issued next week. The tender process will be completed on a war footing and the demolition will begin thereafter," said P Rajeeve, who is the minister in charge of the district.
