Odisha Moves Supreme Court Over Andhra Pradesh Poll Notice in Kotia Border Villages
Odisha has approached the Supreme Court challenging a rural poll notice issued by Andhra Pradesh in the disputed Kotia region, escalating a long-running inter-state boundary dispute with constitutional and administrative implications. The move revives a case dating back to 1968, in which Odisha contested Andhra Pradesh's claims over villages in the area, while the Supreme Court directed both states in 2006 to maintain the status quo.
