It is to be noted that this year because of the pandemic situation and the hardships people are facing as a result of this, CM Naveen has decided against celebrating his birthday. He has urged his supporters, well-wishers and party activists not to visit his residence, and instead, help the needy and donate blood and plasma on the occasion. “I am always indebted to the love and good wishes of the people of Odisha,” Patnaik said.
