Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday launched a new programme called “Mo Jiban”, under which he urged people of the State to take a resolute vow to stay home and not to go outside during the lockdown period to remain safe from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Patnaik urged people to pledge: “I am vowing in the name of my children, father and mother that I will not go out of home during the lockdown period. If I go out of home, I may bring coronavirus with me to my home. It may harm my family. Thus, I will not go outside home. If I go on an urgent work, I will certainly wash my hands for 20 seconds before entering home on return. I will never allow coronavirus to enter my home and put my family in danger.”
He also requested people to make videos of the promise and send them to him. He termed this request the most important one during 20 years of his public service as the Chief Minister.
