The doctors under the banner of Orissa Medical Services Association (OMSA) have threatened to embark on agitation if the people involved in heckling the Nilgiri Sub-Divisional Medical Officer (SDMO) are not brought to book within 72 hours.
The decision has been taken by the doctors following a meeting held on Friday.
According to reports, the situation erupted after a group of people abused and heckled SDMO Ajay Samal asking why Union Minister Pratap Sarangi was not invited to the inauguration function and why there was no name of the Minister on the plaque.
The inauguration function was held on Wednesday as the local truck association donated two cabins to Rogi Kalyan Samiti in the SDM.
After the inaugural meeting a group barging into the chamber of SDMO Samal besides abusing the latter in slangs also heckled Samal in the presence of CDMO and other medical staffs.
Later, they broke the plaque in public glare. SDMO Samal, however, maintained that in the earlier meeting it was decided by all attendees who would be invited and it was decided the local MLA and the district collector would be guest .Under the circumstances, what was his fault?
However, following his hackling in abusive languages, Samal went on leave since then where the medical staff began protest demanding arrest of all culprits by wearing black badges.
