All Odisha Private Bus Owners' Association said the operators in the State are already in neck-deep losses due to high fuel prices and other commodities. Unless any support is forthcoming from the government, it will be hard on their part to continue the services.
The Odisha State Road Transport Corporation is all set to resume its bus service on 43 selected routes in the State with effect from July 6, tomorrow, the State-run carrier informed through its Twitter page on Monday.
Four days into the Odisha government’s order for partial relaxing Covid lockdown regulations in as many as 20 districts of the State under Category A which exhibited virus infection test positivity rate less than 5%, the most awaited bus service in such districts continues to remain off the limits.
