Information about health
condition of Chief Minister is not disclosed by Office of Chief Minister,
Odisha under RTI Act
Dear friends
In the first week of March, 2017, Chief Minister Sri Nabin Patnaik gave a
public statement that he was physically fit to run state administration which
was highlighted by Media. Earlier, there was a lot of discussion in public
domain (may be gossip) about terrible health condition of Chief Minister for
which he is frequently visiting New Delhi for treatment. In my pursuit to get
authenticated information about health condition of our beloved Chief
Minister, I filed RTI Application dt. 4.3.17
to the PIO, Dept. of Parliamentary Affairs, Govt. of Odisha. The PIO
sought the said information from the office of Chief Minister, Odisha. After
obtaining the said information supplied
by Bishnu Prasad Mishra, Under Secretary, the PIO has provided the following
the information on 20.4.17.
