The Political and Business Daily
|June 21, 2025
AHEAD of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Odisha on Friday, the Congress launched a six-hour-long hunger strike here, alleging a "rise" in violence against women and a "collapse" of the health system in the state.
Senior leaders of the Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC), led by its president Bhakta Charan Das and AICC's state in-charge Ajay Kumar Lallu held the hunger strike in front of the party's state headquarters here.
“Over 5,000 people have been affected and 17 have died due to an acute diarrhoea outbreak in 11 districts. These people are entitled to at least sympathy from the government,” Das said.
The prime minister and Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi should visit those affected by diarrhoea and hear their problems, he said.
