Chaos in Odisha assembly, House adjourned till 4 pm

Opposition legislators staged a protest in the state assembly against a recent cabinet decision increasing financial and project powers of block-level officers, contending it usurps authority of elected three-tier panchayat functionaries and seeking rollback. The Speaker, after repeated appeals failed to restore order, adjourned the House until 4 p.m., citing inability to run proceedings. A limited portion of Question Hour (about ten minutes) proceeded, during which ministers responded to questions. A rival party accused the protesting opposition of protecting the ruling party and deliberately disrupting proceedings. The events raise procedural and administrative governance tensions over delegation of local government powers.
