New Indian ExpressJEYPORE: The Koraput administration has rejected the plea of private bus operators to allow halting of buses on NH-26, from Traffic chowk to MG junction, citing severe traffic congestion caused by the practice. Three days ago, the administration had directed private bus operators to stop using the NH-26 for parking and shift their ticket counters to the private bus stand from Wednesday.

He requested the bus operators to cooperate with the new system, emphasising it was implemented in public interest and also assured to address the issues at private bus stand.
