The Odisha government on Tuesday told the State Assembly that it has no information on the claims of cycles being sold to scrap dealers, months after the issue triggered widespread protest in the State.
While hundreds of unused cycles rotting along road-side stand testimony to the failure of the scheme, the alleged sale of the cycles at throwaway prices has raised many eyebrows.
The ‘Mo Cycle’ scheme was launched in the smart city on November 26, 2018 during the Men’s Hockey World Cup to boost public transport.
