Odisha CM Appeals MLAs To Provide Inspiring leadership in Their Constituencies To Combat COVID-19

Bhubaneswar : Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today appealed the MLAs of the state to take personal care of themselves and also provide inspiring leadership in their constituencies to combat Covid-19.

Patnaik made the appeal during an address to the legislators on Covid-19 situation of the state today.

“ Three of our members were affected and I am happy to note that all of them have recovered. Please take care of the Covid Warriors in your areas, encourage plasma donation and educate people at large to follow social distancing, wear masks and practice hand washing. Whether it is a natural disaster or a pandemic, my primary objective is to save every human life and I appeal to my family of four and half crores to follow all the guidelines of Government,” said Patnaik.

The CM further said that it is the individual responsibility of each one of us to jointly fight this pandemic as government cannot be there in every house or street to enforce rules.

“ Odisha on its part has been boldly facing this challenge. I would like to present a deep sense of gratitude to all Covid warriors who have been in the frontline fighting the invisible enemy. It is because of their hard work, dedication and sacrifice that more than eighteen thousand people have been cured and Odisha has saved more people than most states of the country. It’s not an easy task to work continuously in an environment of uncertainty, but our Covid warriors in spite of getting infected themselves, in spite of their families getting infected, in spite of their lives been lost have put up a valiant front for the last 150 days,” added the CM.
