Passengers and devotees visiting the lord Alarnath temple had a miserable time after bus services between Puri and Satpada were disrupted on Sunday.
Sources said the Satpada-Puri Bus Owners’ Association detained 10 buses at Brahmagir in protest of the attack on the owner and staffs of a bus by an auto-rickshaw driver in the morning.
Demanding immediate arrest of the accused auto-rickshaw driver, the local bus owners stopped the services and detained dome buses in protest. The bus services resumed after senior police officials held discussions with the bus operators and assured arrest of the accused within 24 hours.
