Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi Sunday interacted with people at a tea stall after flagging off and participating in ‘Namo Yuva Run’ held between Kalinga Stadium and Janata Maidan here, marking the 75th birthday celebrations of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Flagging off ‘Namo Yuva Run’ here, Majhi said he is optimistic that PM Narendra Modi’s call for a drug-free India will create awareness among the youth. Majhi participated in the run for a short distance, spreading the message of a drug-free nation.
“Many of PM Modi’s resolutions have solved several problems of the country. Poverty is now at its lowest level. We have reached the threshold of achieving perfection in providing electricity and drinking water to every village,” he said.

Appealing to the youth to keep away from any kind of addiction, such as alcoholism, smoking or drug abuse, Majhi said it not only destroys a person but also damages families.
While returning from the programme, he stopped at a tea stall near Mayfair Chowk and interacted with the people in ‘chai pe charcha’.
Majhi enquired about the health of a woman and asked whether she gets the facilities provided by the government.
