Odisha Assembly reopened after a three-day break, but failed to conduct business as Opposition members created uproar from the start of Question Hour. Speaker Surama Padhy adjourned the House until 12 noon after repeated disruptions.
Members of BJD and Congress stormed the well of the House, raising slogans and staging protests over the SCB fire incident. Their loud demonstrations prevented proceedings from moving forward.
The Speaker attempted to restore order, but the commotion intensified. With the atmosphere turning chaotic, she announced adjournment until noon.
Opposition leaders demanded immediate discussion on the SCB fire tragedy, accusing the government of negligence. Their protests highlighted growing political tension inside the Assembly.
The morning session was scheduled for Question Hour across various departments. However, the uproar blocked any progress. In the afternoon, the House is expected to take up expenditure demands of the Steel and Mines Transport Department, though further disruptions remain likely.
