Ruling BJD and opposition Congress corporators hurled missiles and had verbal exchanges over the demand for discussion on alleged faulty identification of beneficiaries in the town to get digitised ration cards for subsidised food grains under Notational Food Security Act.
Seeking an immediate discussion on the matter, the opposition members alleged that many genuine beneficiaries were left out in the list during the monthly council meeting of civic body.
The ruling BJD members counter-labelled the Congress members as "corrupt".
"Appropriate action shall be taken against those damaging public properties", said Mayor Anita Behera.
While nearly two lakh people in the city had applied for getting the ration cards, only 65,000 have been identified to get the same, reports said.
"We will look into the allegations and rectify the list in next three months", said the civic body Commissioner Gyana Das.
