It’s a motivated action and Naveen Patnaik selective in his benevolence: BJP
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday sanctioned ₹78.76 lakh from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (CMRF) to support 13 institutions run by the Missionaries of Charity (MoC) in the State.
The decision came close on the heels of reports of the District Collectors who were directed by Mr. Patnaik to stay in touch with the institutions run by the MoC. The Collectors were asked to ensure that no inmates suffer especially from food security and health related issues.
“Basing on the requests of the Collectors, the CM has sanctioned assistance for 13 institutions run by the MoC in eight districts. More than 900 inmates in various leprosy homes and orphanages will be benefited,” said the Chief Minister’s Office here.
