In a decisive review of the state's security framework, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi emphasized stringent surveillance on disruptive elements. The Chief Minister, meeting at Lok Seva Bhawan, expressed concerns over groups tarnishing Odisha's peace and charged police with prompt action against potential disturbances.

Amidst claims from officials that Cuttack is regaining normalcy post-unrest, with curfews lifted and internet restored, CM Majhi urged law enforcement to maintain vigilance. Patrolling in sensitive areas must continue, he insisted, while advocating for community engagement to foster social harmony in the 'City of Brotherhood.'

CM Majhi expressed sorrow over the murder of Berhampur lawyer Pitabas Panda and demanded swift justice. The high-level meeting included senior personnel, outlining firm steps post-Durga Puja clashes in Cuttack, which injured 25 people, including police officers.
