Odisha CM not to celebrate birthday tomorrow

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will not celebrate his birthday tomorrow (Oct 16) in view of the demise of his sister and eminent author Geeta Mehta in September this year.

The Chief Minister has urged his well-wishers not to visit his residence (Naveen Niwas) in the capital city here to wish him on his birthday.

Geeta, the elder sister of Patnaik and daughter of legendary leader Biju Patnaik, passed away in Delhi on September 16.

The Chief Minister had not celebrated his birthday in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Patnaik had skipped his birthday celebration in 2019 due to cyclone Fani and in 2018 owing to cyclone Titli. These two cyclones had caused extensive damage in Odisha.
