💨 Abstract

Odisha lawmakers, irrespective of political affiliations, have requested Speaker Surama Padhy to direct the government to increase the salaries of MLAs and pensions for former legislators. The last salary revision for MLAs was in 2017, and they are facing financial hardships due to inflation. The demand was supported by members from both the Opposition and treasury benches, citing recent salary and pension increases for MPs.
