Odisha Assembly Session Disrupted Over Textbook Errors and Mines Law Amendments
The Odisha Assembly's Monsoon Session began with disruptions as Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and Congress members protested over errors in school textbooks and the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2026. The BJD demanded the resignation of Education Minister Nityananda Gond for distributing flawed textbooks, while Congress sought repeal of the mines law, citing loss of state authority and revenue. The Speaker adjourned proceedings amid protests, and the session will continue until October 3 with six bills planned for introduction.
