💨 Abstract

Journalists in Odisha's Assembly boycotted proceedings on March 12 due to restrictions on carrying mobile phones to the press gallery. The restriction followed a day after media houses shared footage of an MLA scuffle inside the House, which went viral. Journalists argued that they needed mobile phones to perform their duties, and staged a protest. BJD MLA Arun Kumar Sahoo condemned the restriction on the press's freedom.
