On Friday, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik declared the movie tax-free. “The government has taken the initiative to promote and encourage the doctors and workers in health sectors in extending their services. If all departments work in cohesion with proper coordination as during COVID pandemic, we can build a strong and healthy society,” a CMO release said.
