Bhubaneswar, 21 November (H.S.): In a landmark moment for Odisha, President Droupadi Murmu will address the State Legislative Assembly on November 27, marking the first time a sitting President of India will speak in the Odisha Assembly.

According to Assembly Speaker Surama Padhy, President Murmu will arrive at Bhubaneswar Airport and proceed to the Governor’s House for a short break. She is scheduled to reach the Assembly at 4:20 pm, with her address beginning at 4:30 pm. The event will be attended by Governor Dr. Hari Babu Kambhampati, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, opposition leaders, and all Members of the House.
