Bhubaneswar: With several legislators yet to vacate their allotted quarters, the demolition drive near Odisha Assembly has been put on hold indefinitely.
The process, which began on Wednesday, was abandoned midway after a few quarters were razed to the ground.
Speaker Surjya Narayan Patro on Tuesday had given the go ahead for the demolition of 42 MLA quarters to pave way for a multi-storey building with garden, gymnasium, rest house, parking lot and other modern amenities. While 24 MLAs had vacated their quarters, notices were served on the remaining legislators, he had added.
Sources, however, said that 23 MLAs are yet to vacate quarters allotted to them at the MLA Colony.
