As the Assembly reopened after a three-day holiday for the festival, BJD and Congress members, holding placards and raising slogans, trooped into the well of the House alleging that the BJP government has failed to maintain law and order situation in the state.

Criticising the government for its silence over the issue, the Opposition members demanded that Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi make a statement on the law and order situation in the House.
