Koraput: The Koraput district administration on Monday served notices to social activist Mamata Behera and Kamala Pujari’s attendant Rajiv Hial for allegedly forcing the Padma Shri awardee to dance inside the ICU of Cuttack-based SCB Medical College and Hospital.
In the notice, Jeypore sub-collector Debabar Pradhan had directed the duo to submit their replies in person by September 6, 10am. This was confirmed by Rajiv Hial himself who said that he had been served the notice to appear before the sub-collector.
Earlier, Paraja Samaja of the undivided Koraput threatened to launch a massive protest after the video of the social worker forcibly dancing with Kamala went viral.
Notably, Kamala’s condition has worsened after she was forced to dance by the social worker.
However, defending her act, Mamata said, Pujari performed Dhemsa, a traditional folk dance in Koraput district, by her own.
