Bhubaneswar – Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi visited Nuapada district on Monday and announced a fresh wave of development work worth more than ₹1,100 crore. He opened the doors of his offices for district residents, promising that the state government will keep listening to local concerns.
While touring the area, CM Majhi said that Odisha’s “double‑engine” government—under Prime Minister Modi—will serve people throughout the state, big or small, near or far. He spoke of a growing bond with Nuapada and of the state’s commitment to lift every region equally.
