Taking an exemplary step to renounce the VIP culture, leader of Opposition (loP) in the State Assembly Narasingha Mishra has decided not to use red beacon atop his vehicle.
In a letter to Chief Secretary Aditya Prasad Padhi, the senior Congress leader informed him to remove the red beacon atop his vehicle allotted by the State Government.
“The red beacon should not be used. Only those who are in charge of maintaining law and order should use red beacon atop their vehicles while on duty,” Mishra said.
He also wrote to the Chief Secretary asking him to withdraw security cover provided to him as the loP.
“I do not need security even during my visit to Balangir (his native district) or any (other) district of the State,” he wrote.
