Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Assembly witnessed pandemonium on Wednesday as Opposition members created a ruckus over the recent fire mishap at SCB Medical College and Hospital, demanding accountability from the government.

Soon after the Question Hour began, legislators from both the BJD and Congress stormed into the well of the House, raising slogans and protesting against the state government. The MLAs were seen wearing black T-shirts as a mark of protest. The T-shirts carried slogans such as "Weak Chief Minister".

Amid uproar, the Speaker adjourned the House till 11:30 am. After the adjournment, the Opposition members were seen protesting on the Assembly premises.

The Opposition has been firm in its demand for the resignation of the Health Minister, holding the government responsible for the SCB Hospital fire incident. The issue has led to repeated disruptions, with Assembly proceedings failing to run smoothly for nearly a week.
