UDUPI: Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is likely to name its Bannanje rural bus stand after former home minister V S Acharya.
KSRTC chairman M Chandrappa, who considered Acharya his political guru, has agreed to take up the proposal mooted by Udupi MLA K Raghupati Bhat and seconded by transport minister Laxman Savadi to his board for approval.
Former transport minister R Ashoka had sanctioned Rs 30 crore for the rural bus stand coming up on 2.5-acre land in Bannanje along NH 169A.
“It will only be befitting if this bus stand is named after late Dr Acharya, who strove tirelessly for Udupi and its development,” MLA Raghupathi Bhat said.
The board clarified that these matters were unrelated. “Without doubt, the schedule for ICSE and ISC 2021 exams will not happen in February/March, given the pandemic in the country and the upcoming elections in five states as well. The dates for the exam will be announced later,” stated the circular.
