INDIA bloc parties to stage Odisha Assembly gherao on September 29 against new mining law

Opposition parties under the INDIA bloc have announced a gherao (siege) of the Odisha Assembly on September 29 in protest against a new mining law. The joint action marks a coordinated challenge to the state government's policy on mining regulations.

The parties have called the gherao to demonstrate their opposition to the legislation, which they say adversely affects state interests and mining-dependent communities.
