CHENNAI: Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department (HR&CE) and CMDA P K Sekarbabu on Sunday said that work on the Omnibus parking facility in Mudichur would be completed by August this year.

After inspecting the Omnibus parking facility works in Mudichur, he said that it was being constructed on land spread across five acres at Rs 40 crore.

At a time, 111 omnibuses could be parked in the facility.

Additionally, for the convenience of the omnibus drivers and cleaners, two buildings with bathrooms and canteen facilities are under construction.
