Cuttack District Magistrate Arvind Agarwal on Wednesday assured Athagarh Press Club (APC) members to run city buses between Cuttack and Athagarh soon.
APC members had been staging a dharna demanding City Bus service since September 7.
An APC team including club president Dinesh Das and members Sailendra Pattnaik, Shankarsan Mohanty, Jagadananda Tripathy, Bijaya Kumar Nayak and others met the DM at his office and put forth their demand. The DM assured private buses to Athagarh within a week and new City Buses within a month or two.
The team also met STA Commissioner Sanjeeb Panda and ADM Harish Chandra Nayak and got positive response from them for bus services.
