The Odisha Congress on Friday announced that the party would hold State-wide demonstrations over the deteriorating law and order situation in the State.
OPCC president Niranjan Patnaik said the Congress would stage peaceful demonstrations in front of the offices of Superintendents of Police across the State on December 21.“In a peaceful State like Odisha, there has been steep rise in crimes and atrocities against children and women which is really shameful. Hence, the Congress will stage demonstrations in front of the SOP offices across the State on December 21,” said Patnaik.
The BJD Government has turned a mute spectator to the rising atrocities and crimes against women and children in the State.He also expressed concern over the reports on the spiralling abduction of girls in the State.“Women and children are not safe in Odisha. The Congress will intensify its protests demanding adequate security for the women and children,” added Patnaik.
