Bhubaneswar: President Ram Nath Kovind will visit Rourkela on March 21, Sundargarh MP and senior BJP leader, Jual Oram told the local media here on Friday.
“However, the official itinerary is yet to come. I whole-heartedly welcome the President to Odisha,” Oram said, adding that the programmes will be observed in a subdued manner due to the pandemic situation.
