Government Steps in with Strong Protection
Sambalpur: Jay Narayan Mishra, the MLA of Sambalpur, is facing serious threats to his life. After the danger became known, the government immediately provided him with high-level security. Now, an armed security officer carrying an AK-47 rifle has been assigned to protect him.
Security Withdrawn in the Past
During the previous BJD government, Jay Narayan had security personnel assigned to him. However, he later returned them, choosing to move around without any protection. After the tragic assassination of former Health Minister Naba Das, he lost trust in the security arrangements and preferred to travel freely without guards.

BJP Government Enforces Tight Security
However, after the formation of the BJP government in the state, his security has now been significantly strengthened. When asked about the matter, Jay Narayan told the media that he was unsure why the BJP government provided him with such high security. He stated, “I am a legislator from the ruling party, yet I do not know why they felt the need for strict security. The Home Secretary may have a better explanation.”
Jay Narayan further mentioned that he initially refused security. However, considering the potential danger to his life, the government insisted that he accept it. He added, “If anything happens, the government will be held responsible, so they forced me to accept the security arrangement.” According to him, the IG himself informed him about the new security measures.
