My reporting time at school is sharp at 7:30 AM. But unfortunately the first bus of route no-13 leaves at 7:40 AM from Lingipur. As a result I will be late for my school. And for this reason I am facing a lot of problems.
He tagged the Capital Region Urban Transport Bhubaneswar (CRUT) on Twitter and its Managing Director, IPS officer Arun Bothra. He stressed that he was ¡®facing a lot of trouble¡¯ and would be ¡®thankful¡¯ if they could take some immediate action.
Part of the tweet read, ¡®Respected Sir, I want to state that I am a student of MBS public school, Bhubaneswar. I use Mo Bus as my daily transportation means to go to school. Nowadays the timing of the buses are changed¡¯.
CRUT and Bothra reacted positively to Anwesh's plea in a matter of a few hours, winning people's hearts.
