Bhubaneswar: The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) today withdrew the sealing order for the office of Bhubaneswar MP and BJP National Spokesperson Aparajita Sarangi with immediate effect.

On October 10, the BMC had sealed the MP’s office after a video that showed the Parliamentarian celebrating her birthday violating COVID-19 guidelines went viral.
