Bhubaneswar, 12 June (H.S.): Odisha Chief Minister Shri Mohan Charan Majhi has taken prompt action after media reports highlighted the plight of Prafulla Kumar Das, a 41-year-old visually impaired man from Andhari village under Korai block in Jajpur district.

Acting on the Chief Minister’s instructions, Das will be provided a house under the Antyodaya Housing Scheme. Additionally, he will receive an immediate financial assistance of ₹5,000 from the Red Cross Society.
