The Odisha government has exciting news for all the religious enthusiasts out there! They have announced plans to launch bus services from the state to some of the most prominent religious destinations in the country. The announcement was made by Odisha Transport and Commerce Minister, Bibhuti Bhushan Jena, during a review meeting at the office of Odisha State Road Transport Corporation in Bhubaneswar on Monday.
Minister Jena shared that the state will soon offer bus services to religious places like Ayodhya, Tirupati, Mahakaleshwar, Varanasi, Vrindavan, and many more. This move is aimed at making it easier for people to travel to these holy sites and fulfill their spiritual needs. These buses will be available from various cities in Odisha, such as Puri, Bhubaneswar, Berhampur, and Rourkela, making it convenient for people living in different parts of the state.
In addition, the Minister also hinted at the renaming of the famous 'Location Accessible Multi-modal Initiative' (LAccMI) scheme, which was launched by the previous government. This ambitious public transportation service was designed to connect the Gram Panchayats to the state capital, but Minister Jena shared that they are currently reviewing it. However, he assured the public that they are committed to providing a reliable and efficient bus service to the people.
Furthermore, Minister Jena mentioned that they will also focus on providing bus services in areas that lack proper transportation facilities. This will not only improve the connectivity of these regions but also make it easier for people to travel within the state. He also announced that during the Rath Yatra, buses will be available from all 314 block headquarters in Odisha to the holy city of Puri.
Lastly, the Transport Minister shared their plans to introduce environmentally friendly Electric Vehicles (EV) buses across the state under the PM-eBus Sewa. This step towards sustainable transportation will not only benefit the environment but also provide a modern and comfortable mode of travel for the people. With these initiatives, the Odisha government is determined to improve the overall transportation system in the state and make it convenient for the citizens to travel and explore the country.
