Pradesh Congress Committee president Niranjan Patnaik has contributed Rs 10 lakh to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund for use for safety of unprivileged people.
Patnaik hailed the lockdown initiatives taken by the Union and State Governments to fight out the COVID-19 outbreak. However, he expressed concern about the hardship being faced by daily wagers, construction workers, rickshaw pullers, street vendors and migrant labourers.
"While these initiatives are welcome, more needs to be done if the Government and the citizens of the State come together. To this end I contribute Rs 10lakh to the CMRF to help provide the necessary safety net that the unprivileged people need today," said Patnaik.
