Team India Stuck In Barbados Lockdown As Hurricane Beryl Shuts Airport

The Chief Minister's office is on the third floor of Lok Seva Bhawan. CM Majhi moved into his chamber in traditional fashion as Hindu rituals were performed with pujas, mantras and other traditional rituals.

Former CM and BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik used to sit in the chamber. The only change being made was the placement of CM's table and chair.

ଆଜିଠାରୁ ବିଧିବଦ୍ଧ ଭାବେ ଲୋକସେବା ଭବନରେ ମୁଖ୍ୟମନ୍ତ୍ରୀ ରୂପେ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲି । ଜନତାଙ୍କ ସରକାରରେ ସରକାର ଓ ଜନତାଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ କୌଣସି ପ୍ରତିବନ୍ଧକ ରହିବନାହିଁ । ସାଧାରଣ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ସୁବିଧା ଆମ ସରକାରର ପ୍ରାଥମିକତା । pic.twitter.com/2dWZA5jOU6 — Mohan Charan Majhi (@MohanMOdisha) July 4, 2024

Notably, the State Guest House had been the temporary Office for CM Majhi for the past 22 days -- since his oath-taking June 12.

"Cultural Progress Along With Material Development To Be Prioritiesed"

After moving into his official chamber at the Lok Seva Bhawan, CM Majhi gave a gist of the government's vision. "The priority will be given to cultural progress along with material development," said Majhi.

CM Majhi also assured that focus will also be on the growth and systematic development of libraries as well as the promotion of odia language and literature. He further said, "A translation academy will be established for the growth and promotion of Odia language and literature."

"An Odia 'Bhasa Bhawan' -- 'Bhasa' stands for language -- and 'Asmita Bhawan' will be established along with the formation of language commission," said Majhi. 

Keeping the vision of promoting Odia language, Majhi said, "All the government works will be done in Odia. A language act will be amended if required, to promote the use of Odia language in Govt works."

Majhi also stressed on the development of various Odia cultures. "Sanskruti Bhawans will be built in every district to promote the cultures of the districts."   

The Chief Minister also said the government will work towards the development of Odia heritage. "A Paika Academy as well as a monuments will be built. Importance will be given for the development of various heritage places in the state," said Majhi. "All the works will be done with the help of people and their suggestions."

CM Majhi also invited suggestions from people on what needs to be done for Odia 'Asmita'. "The state will be administered in Odia language. For this purpose, the official language law will be strictly followed. If necessary, the law will be strengthened by making necessary amendments," he stressed. 

"Arrangements will be made to facilitate the widespread use of the Odia language at both the government and private sectors," he added. CM Majhi has directed all the departments to present the documents to him in Odia language.

For the caption, Hina, who announced the diagnosis on June 28, wrote: “You can hear my mother's walling voice in Kashmiri (blessing me) in the background as she prepared herself to witness something she never dared to imagine. Not all of us have the same tools at our disposal to manage heartbreaking emotions.”

“To all the beautiful people out there, especially women who are fighting the same battle, I know it's hard, I know for most of us, our hair is the crown we never take off. But what if you're facing a battle so tough that you have to lose your hair -your pride, your crown?”

Hina asserted that if one wants to win tough decisions need to be taken.

“And I choose to win. I have decided to give myself every chance possible to win this battle. I choose to let go of my beautiful hair before it starts falling off. I didn't want to endure this mental breakdown for weeks.”

The 36-year-old actress said that she chose “to let go” of her “crown” because she realised her “real crown is my COURAGE, my STRENGTH, and the love I have for myself.”

“I have decided to use my own hair to make a nice Wig for this phase.”

A strong-willed Hina said: “Hair will grow back, eyebrows will return, scars will fade, but the spirit must remain whole. I am recording my story, my journey, to ensure that my efforts to embrace myself reach everyone out there.”

“If my story can make even one day of this heartwarming yet excruciating experience better for someone, it's worth it. Also this day couldn't have gone as I hoped without the presence of the people who have taken a vow to support me thru thick and thin..”

“MY PEOPLE @rockyj1 MOM @heenaladjoshi@manaanmeer@sachinmakeupartist1 And a big thank you to @dwyesh_hairwizard for coming all the way from Santacruz after his hectic day at his salon to make this as comfortable as possible…”

“Loved the haircut Dwyessh Thank you and love you May God ease our pain and give us strength to be victorious PIz Pray Pray Pray for me,” she concluded.
