Odisha Assembly Speaker Surama Padhy on Wednesday directed MLAs not to use mobile phone and carry water bottles inside the House.
The development came after Soro MLA was seen clicking pictures while other MLAs were talking over phone inside the House. Immediately, Speaker Surama Padhy raised the issue and asked the MLAs not to indulge in such activities inside the Assembly.
Using mobile phones inside the Assembly is not accepted and hence the legislators have been asked not to use their gadgets.
Even though water is adequately available within the premises, it has been observed that MLAs carry water bottles to the House.
