The private bus and truck owners’ association of Odisha has also lent support to the cease work strike by the drivers.

The strike has left the passengers in a lurch as many people were seen stranded at bus stops helplessly waiting for just any vehicle to reach their destinations.

The transportation of goods has also been severely affected due to the strike.
