Tehsildar attacked for Covid rule raid in Balasore
Things turned bitter for Anamika Singh after the police released the three people detained in this connection
A woman tehsildar, Anamika Singh, was reportedly beaten up by locals while conducting a raid to implement the Covid guidelines during an 11th day ritual ceremony. The incident took place on Wednesday night in Balasore district, about 220km from here.
Singh, the Balasore Sadar tehsildar (a senior Odisha Administrative Service (OAS) cadre officer), on Thursday sat on a dharna in her office demanding justice and arrest of the accused involved in the attack on her. After the district collector and superintendent of police intervened, she preferred to leave the office and stay back in her house and not press the issue further.
