The orders were given yesterday in the Assembly after Leader of Opposition Indira Hridayesh raised the issue.

Rakesh, the MLA from Bhagwanpur, earlier said in the House that she received a letter from an unknown person who threatened to kill her and her family before April 28.

Hridayesh demanded that a Y-category security cover be accorded to Rakesh and said the threat letter has been submitted to state Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prakash Pant.

Rawat accepted the demand and ordered Director General of Police (DGP) M A Ganpathy to provide the security cover to Rakesh.
