Attending the Pathotsav here this Sunday, Chief Minister Naveen urged for cooperation and support of everyone to make the forthcoming Asian Athletic Championships in the city a huge success.
“Today’s Pathotsav has been dedicated for the upcoming 22nd Asian Athletics Championships which are a glorious moment for people of Odisha,” said Patnaik.
The Chief Minister further said that the city of Bhubaneswar is fully prepared to host the mega event and welcome the players and delegates from 45 countries.
“I urge for support of people of Odisha and to treat the players and delegates as our family members so that they would be our ambassadors when they return to their respective countries,’ Patnaik said.
As part of its ambitious ‘citizen connect’ programme, the State Government decided to use the Pathotsav to promote and publicise the Athletics Championships ahead of their inauguration at the Kalinga Stadium on July 5.
