A state-wide strike by private bus operators began in Odisha on Friday, crippling the public transport system across the state.
Nearly 14,000 private buses went off road in the state as part of the agitation called by the private bus owners’ association. The association launched its indefinite strike in protest against the location-accessible multimodal initiative (LAccMI) of the State government.
Following a stalemate between the Odisha Private Bus Owners Association and the state government, private buses stayed off roads in the State.
The Odisha private bus owners remained adamant on their earlier stand to go on an indefinite strike from October 20.
The private bus operators, who are protesting the State government’s affordable transportation for people across the state under the location-accessible multimodal initiative (LAccMI), have called for an indefinite strike from 6 AM today.
