Congress Legislature Party Leader Narasingha Mihsra on Monday severely criticised the Government for rising incidents of murder, loot and other law and order incidents in the State.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Mishra read out some murder and loot related headlines from a vernacular daily and said, “There is no rule of law in the State. Rather, a jungle rule has prevailed all over the State.”
He cited incidents of all family members of a man killed by his younger brother for property in Sundargarh district, killing of two youths, including a journalist, in the Banki area, loot in a shop in Balangir and attack on a nurse at the Bhima Bhoi Medical College and Hospital. Mishra demanded a statement from the Chief Minister on the law and order issues and a direction from the Chair on the hospital matter.
Speaker Surjya Narayan Patro directed the Minister of State for Home to take note of the law and order issues raised by Mishra.
