The Khordha district administration observed the National Voter’s Day here recently. On the occasion, a rangoli competition was organised to encourage new voters to cast their votes.
District Collector Nirmal Chandra Mishra inaugurated the programme and Sub-Collector Saroj Kumar Sahu coordinated the programme.
It might be mentioned that the local media was not informed about the programme; and when contacted, the DIPRO said they did not have any information about the event.
The local mediamen also expressed their concern over the matter and said that the media plays an important role in creating awareness among people but yet it is neglected here.
