The old private bus stand at Madikeri in Kodagu is in the news of late, thanks to Star of Mysore Editor-in-Chief K.B. Ganapathy (KBG), who mooted construction of a Public Square at the spot, which is situated in the heart of the hilly town and converted the place into a tourist attraction.
The old private bus stand was constructed in 1936 by the British. The landslides and floods that occurred in August 2018 resulted in a portion of the bus stand collapsing and the entire building was demolished later to avert further accidents.
