Kotpad 31st January 2025 Independent Bus Service from Odisha to Ayodhya Suspended Due to Overcrowding at Mahakumbh Considering the excessive crowd at Mahakumbh and yesterday’s unfortunate incident, the independent bus service from Odisha to Ayodhya has been temporarily suspended until February 4, as per the Odisha State Road Transport Corporation (OSRTC). The organization announced this decision through its official ‘X’ handle.
Passengers who had booked tickets in advance will receive a refund. OSRTC has also issued a helpline number for affected passengers, allowing them to contact and provide necessary ticket details to claim their refunds.
Yesterday, on the special occasion of Mauni Amavasya, around 5 crore devotees gathered at Mahakumbh for the holy dip. Unfortunately, a stampede in Dalachak resulted in 30 deaths. Ayodhya is also witnessing massive crowds since the beginning of the Kumbh Mela. In light of the situation, the Yogi government has advised devotees not to visit Ayodhya at this time.
