Nation on the move
A former associate editor with the Times of India, Jug Suraiya writes two regular columns for the print edition, Jugular Vein, which appears every Friday, and Second Opinion, which appears on Wednesdays. His blog takes a contrarian view of topical and timeless issues, political, social, economic and speculative. LESS ... MORE A populist slogan during Indira Gandhi's regime was 'The nation is on the move.' Though whether the motion was in forward or reverse gear was open to question. Today, the nation is very much on the move, quite literally, and its movement is decidedly outward bound. According to a TOI report, Indians are spending an estimated $17bn on foreign sojourns, as compared with $17mn fifteen years ago, which represents a thousand per cent jump. While a large chunk of this expenditure is for studying abroad, the biggest percentage increase has been for leisure travel, which is all the more remarkable in that the cost of the US dollar has gone up from ₹23 to almost ₹88. Despite this cost deterrence, more and more Indians are spending more and more on foreign travel, and many are doing so on borrowed cash. A credit card survey has shown that more of us (27%) are borrowing more money for foreign vacations than for home improvements (24%), medical expenses (9.6%), education (6.1%), or weddings (5.4%). How did this travel bug bite India? Thirty years ago, Indians by and large, were stay-at-homes, rooted by family or community ties to the city, town, or village they belonged to. If they travelled at all it was for work, business, or religious pilgrimage. Travel just for the heck of it was a rarity reserved for the extravagant or the eccentric. This changed in 1986 when the govt introduced leave travel allowance, LTA, for public sector employees, which got extended to the private sector. The perk was meant to financially aid those in transferable jobs to make an annual return to home base. This gave an impetus to leisure travel. Moving forward, liberalised foreign exchange has made travel abroad accessible to the growing middle class. The result is that the foreign-returned tag no longer has social cachet. That privilege is now reserved for the foreign non-returned – who leave the country and stay out through migration, legal or otherwise.

Now, bus shelters inadequate at Mannarpuram, TVS Tollgate
Trichy: With more moffusil passengers relying on bus stops at TVS tollgate and Mannarpuram to leave or enter Trichy city instead of travelling to KKBT at Panjapur to catch their buses, the existing shelters have turned inadequate. New stoppages having cropped up at crucial road junctions, passengers have sought additional bus shelters and streamlining of halting points for mofussil buses leaving the city. More than 1,500 mofussil buses are operated from the newly commissioned Panjapur KKBT. However, daily commuters travelling to Coimbatore, Thanjavur, Pudukottai and Dindigul are using Mannarpuram and TVS tollgate stops to board these buses. Besides existing bus shelters, passengers have started using service roads of Trichy-Chennai NH to board and disembark from buses. At Mannarpuram, the service road connecting the NH with Trichy junction RoB's Chennai arm is being used to board mofussil buses to Manapparai. Buses are now stopping at a distance before the existing bus stops. "In recent rains, passengers were drenched as there was no shelter. As monsoon is fast approaching, new shelters are needed at Mannarpuram," Sakthivel Rengasamy, a commuter to Manapparai, said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This year's most comfortable shoes are a hit with the over-40 crowd Ultra-Comfortable Shoes Undo While city buses are halting at designated stops, mofussil buses pick up passengers on the service road. The practice chokes vehicles entering the city as free-left is blocked by the buses at Mannarpuram. As a solution, city police suggested developing new shelters near the starting point of the service road at Mannarpuram, to avoid buses blocking the free-left for other vehicles entering the city. At TVS tollgate, where passengers board buses to Pudukottai and Thanjavur, existing bus shelters have become inadequate too. District collector V Saravanan promised to look into the demands for new bus shelter. New traffic signal on cards at TVS Tollgate Trichy: City traffic police are planning to survey the entries and exits of TVS tollgate junction on Trichy-Chennai national highway where Trichy-Pudukottai national highway and multiple city roads converge. "We have requested a traffic signal system developer to survey TVS tollgate as we are unable to manually manage the vehicular movement. Buses criss-cross the junction frequently, especially after the commissioning of KKBT," a police source said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
