During a Khordha Zilla Parishad meeting, member Pradipta Chhotray attempted self-immolation by pouring petrol on himself. The incident occurred due to alleged negligence and misconduct by the Bolagarh BDO. Other members intervened just as he was about to light a match. The situation was brought under control after discussions involving Khordha and Begunia MLAs. Chhotray stated that he took this step after being repeatedly ignored by the district administration regarding his grievances. https://odishasambad.in/zilla-parishad-member-attempted-suicide-by-pouring-petrol-in-the-meeting/ #creator program
