In a letter, the Advisers have informed Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik about their desire to work in key posts allotted to them without taking financial remuneration.
Expressing their gratitude to the CM for giving them opportunity to serve people, they pledged their complete dedication and devotion in carrying out their responsibilities successfully.
