The state government has mobilised 36 police platoons, 11 quick‑response teams and aerial drones to protect the upcoming Odisha Assembly session.
Bhubaneswar – In preparation for the forthcoming session of the Odisha Legislative Assembly, authorities have announced a comprehensive security plan. The deployment includes 36 police platoons, 11 quick‑response teams (QRTs) and a fleet of surveillance drones to monitor the premises and surrounding areas.
The measures are being coordinated by the Odisha Police in conjunction with the state’s Home Department, aiming to ensure a safe environment for legislators, staff and the public. Officials indicated that the presence of QRTs will enable rapid reaction to any untoward incident, while drones will provide real‑time aerial oversight.
No specific threat has been disclosed, but the heightened security reflects standard protocol for high‑profile legislative gatherings. The deployment is expected to remain in place for the duration of the session, after which resources will be scaled back.
The assembly building, located in the capital Bhubaneswar, will continue to operate under these reinforced safety arrangements, reassuring stakeholders of the government's commitment to law and order during the legislative proceedings.
