Opposition members disrupted the Odisha Legislative Assembly debate on the MMDR Act, leading the speaker to suspend the session until 4 p.m.
The Odisha Legislative Assembly in Bhubaneswar was brought to a halt on Tuesday when opposition legislators raised a loud protest against the pending MMDR Act. The members objected to the provisions of the bill, arguing that it could affect key sectors of the state without adequate safeguards.
The disruption escalated to the point where the Speaker intervened, citing procedural rules, and announced that the house would be adjourned until 4 p.m. to restore order and allow further discussion in a calmer setting.
The adjournment underscores the growing tension between the ruling party and opposition over the legislation, which is expected to be revisited later in the day after the break.
No further statements were released by the government or opposition leaders at the time of the adjournment.
