Jogesh Kumar Singh, Sundargarh BJD MLA, raised the issue of merging Sundargarh with northern Odisha at the Legislative Assembly’s Zero Hour. The legislator sought clarity from the relevant government on the matter.”We are Western Odisha inhabitants, and our traditions and cultures are inextricably linked. As a result, we respectfully request that the Chief Minister remove his comments.
