Probe into Orissa clash ordered

The Chief Justice of the High Court would be requested to nominate a sitting judge for the purpose. The inquiry would be conducted under the provisions of the Commission of Inquiry Act but no time frame has been fixed for submission of the report.

Earlier, official sources had said the Revenue Divisional Commissioner Central Division would inquire into the incident and submit a preliminary report immediately after which a decision would be taken on the question of ordering a Judicial probe.

The region continued to simmer with protests held at several places today. The CM has appealed to the people to maintain calm.
