Bhadrak: The Bhadrak district administration on Monday has decided to restrict inter-state bus service to and from Kolkata with immediate effect.
Bhadrak collector Gyana Ranjan Das told mediapersons here that since Kolkata has emerged as a COVID hotspot in West Bengal, this step had to be taken. Otherwise, the situation in Bhadrak district will get further aggravated as more people might contract the virus.
