Security is at the forefront as Odisha Legislative Assembly gears up for its budget session starting Tuesday. Bhubaneswar police staged a thorough mock operation to validate their multi-layered defenses against any disruptions.
Led by Commissioner Suresh Dev Datta Singh, the drill simulated threats to test response times and team synchronization. Divided into armed units, support staff, and undercover agents, forces will cover every inch—from entry points to the assembly hall and adjacent critical areas.
Real-time evaluations covered comms networks, intel integration, and swift interventions. Seven key teams under 30 officers dissected performance, incorporating fresh intelligence for targeted reinforcements.
Governor’s speech demands peak readiness, with the complex on maximum alert and intensified frisking at all gates. Police vow a disruption-free environment through coordinated vigilance.
In the political arena, Congress and BJD opposition are strategizing assaults on the ruling dispensation, zeroing in on paddy buying mismanagement. Congress MLAs convened in the assembly to align on pressing public issues for the session.
