BALANGIR LAWYERS BEGIN 2-DAY STIR
3
The Balangir District Bar Association began a two-day
close-office agitation from Friday to press for their demand of establishment
of a permanent High Court Bench here.
Hundreds of members of
the association sat on dharna in front of the District Collectorate and the
District and Sessions Judge courts as mark of protest.
Various offices belonging
to Government and private organisaions, excluding schools, colleges and
markets, remained closed.
“In protest against the
Government’s continuous neglect, we have called this two-day shutdown
agitation. We would take the next course of action at a meeting to be held
Saturday,” said senior lawyer Bhavani Satapathy.
Notably, the shutdown is
just as an addition to the ongoing cease-work agitation which the lawyers in
the district have been resorting to since February 3 last.
