Vacancies in Odisha Consumer Commission cripple justice, 13 judgments delivered in 3 yrs

Odisha's top consumer court is crippled, operating without stenographers for over a year. Members are forced to handwrite judgments, drastically slowing justice delivery. Despite repeated pleas to authorities, critical support staff vacancies persist, leading to decade-long case pendency and consumer suffering. The commission urgently needs new hires and infrastructure upgrades.
