Supporters of sitting BJD MLA Raghunandan Das who have been waiting for the party’s decision, gathered at the legislator's residence in Bhubaneswar on Saturday. They are said to be sceptical of the candidature of the incumbent MLA.

Challenging the leadership of MLA Raghunandan Das, BJD leader Soumyajit Mohapatra, who is aspiring for a party ticket, organised a roadshow at Naveen Niwas on Sunday, pressing for his ticket lobby.

A group of activists of Zilla Swasthya Surakshya Abhiyan staged protests, demanding a medical college in Jagatsinghpur on Saturday. They took out a rally and staged a demonstration by lying prostrate in front of the collectorate.

Locals alleged that as the name of Mandasahi Sarpanch Puspalata Das was not mentioned in the plaque, some of her supporters damaged it.

Police have launched an investigation to ascertain the circumstances in which the incident took place.

While the identities of the deceased and missing students could not be ascertained immediately, it was learnt that they were from Bhubaneswar. 

Mallik has filed a written complaint in this regard with the IIC of the police station and has also sent its copies to the district SP, Odisha Police DG and the Chief Minister urging for justice.

The workers at the unit were manufacturing firecrackers when the mishap occurred which not only destroyed the unit completely, but the resultant fire also gutted a house and huge quantities of paddy stored nearby.

Somalika, who has accused Das of betrayal, has handed over the call recording to the media and said she will lodge a police complaint in this regard.

Acting on the complaint lodged by the grandmother, the local police and members of the Child Protection Unit launched a search operation and rescued the baby. The police have also detained Mallick, who has bought the baby boy.

The court also directed the IIC to register a case if any cognizable case is made out.

Demanding for an independent inquiry into the allegations, both the parties have condemned the conducts of Das terming them unexpected, specifically from a public representative. 

The victim, identified as Saraswati Sethi, succumbed to the injuries while being shifted to SCB medical college and hospital in Cuttack.

Local MLA and district project committee chairman, on the other hand, said, "A master plan has already been prepared for the said project and it will be implemented soon."
