The private bus owners' association has decided to put its decision to suspend bus services on Cuttack-Sambalpur route on National Highway No-55 on hold. The agitation was scheduled to begin from January 1, 2022,

The decision was taken following a high-level meeting between the State Transport Department, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the association at Kharabela Bhawan in Bhubaneswar on Wednesday evening.
