The Supreme Court on Monday expressed its displeasure over Odisha police for its failure to handle the lawyers’ protest and reportedly said it would deploy central forces if Odisha police failed to control the situation. 

It asked the Odisha DGP and inspector general of police to present themselves via video conferencing on Wednesday. 

However, DGP Sunil Kumar Bansal is yet to make any comment.
