2001 Odisha Assembly attack
The 2001 Odisha Assembly attack was a significant terrorist incident that occurred on the morning of October 1, 2001, targeting the Odisha Legislative Assembly in Bhubaneswar, India. Armed militants affiliated with the extremist group Lashkar-e-Taiba launched a coordinated assault on the assembly premises, resulting in a violent standoff that led to the deaths of several individuals, including security personnel and the assailants. The attack disrupted the legislative proceedings and raised serious concerns regarding the security of political institutions in the region. Following the incident, state and central governments implemented heightened security measures, and the event prompted discussions on counter-terrorism strategies within India, emphasizing the need for improved intelligence and collaboration among security agencies.
