The Odisha government has suspended all special bus services to the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela at Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj till the 4th of next month. The decision has been taken to avoid any untoward incident as a huge influx of devotees is being witnessed at Prayagraj.

Eight buses operated by the Odisha State Road Transport Corporation (OSRTC) had been running from Odisha to Prayagraj since the 12th of this month, with services initially planned to continue until the 26th of next month.
