The Mohanty commission report and the state's action-taken report were tabled in the Odisha Assembly on 14 December 2017, about two and a half years after submission. The state cabinet had approved tabling in May 2017, when Congress and BJP leaders criticised the report for holding no one responsible. The Orissa High Court had earlier pressed the state to file the report before it. The commission found that there was no option for the executive magistrate but to order live firing after tear gas, stinger and stun shells, rubber bullets and firing in the air failed. It said some local leaders, political parties and others had led villagers toward confrontation, and it recommended welfare schemes for land losers, a job for one member of each bereaved family and extra compensation for the injured. The state said the recommendations had been complied with, including Rs 16.5 lakh in additional ex gratia for the injured. Residents and activists quoted by The Quint and NewsClick rejected the report. In January 2019 the Orissa Post, citing unnamed sources, reported that 605 R&R issues from Tata Steel's package were unresolved. [5][6][1][7][8][2][3][4]
