The District Planning Committee president and Pottangi MLA Prafulla Kumar Pangi flagged of the bus service at Kunduli under Biju Gaon Gadi Yojana.

“The 36-seated bus will begin its journey from Kunduli village at 10 AM every day. It will go to Kotia as well as Ampabali village and return to Kunduli in the afternoon,” said Pangi.

Pottangi Block Chairman, local Zilla Parishad member, Pottangi BDO, Koraput RTO and hundreds of people were present on the occasion.

Kotia Panchayat has 28 villages of which 21 villages are on disputed zone between Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
