Mashal Yatra evokes huge response across State

Saturday, 30 April 2016 | PNS | BHUBANESWAR

Pressing for implementation of the Odisha Official language Act, 1954 for using Odia in all official works, the Bhasa Suraksha Sammilani on Madhu Jayanti held a Mashal Yatra all over the State.

The Yatra was a huge success as people from various walks of life joined, said Sammilani president and Rajya Sabha member Baishnab Parida.

In a bid to protect and promote the Odia language, the Bhasa Suraksha Sammilani observed the birth anniversary of Utkal Gaurav Madhusudan Das.

In spite of several promises given by the Government, the language Act is not being implemented, Parida alleged.

Though Odia has been given classical language status by the Centre, it is being neglected in its own land, he rued. 

leaders across party line, institutions, literary and cultural organisations, writers, intellectuals and students participated in the procession in the city.

Parida said the Government must pass an order for introduction of Odia in Government offices, courts, educational institutions and business establishments.

Amitav Khilar and Nila Madhab Sahu coordinated the programme.
