BERHAMPUR, MAY 9:
Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik breaks down while watching cultural show at Berhampur.
Mr Patnaik, reports on Wednesday said, – was on Monday watching the dance performance on the day of launching slum land title transfer project at Chhatrapur in Ganjam district. He was seen weeping and his security personnel handed over a handkerchief to him for wiping tears during the programme.
The entire sight was captured by news channels and onlookers showing him in an emotional and compassionate person, who feels grief and pain of a slum dweller.
Mr Patnaik’s eyes were filled in tears watching the four-minute play based on 2013 Phailin tragedy performed by the Berhampur-based dance troupe showing the slum dwellers trying to save their families from the disastrous cyclone, their struggle to rebuild shanty, apathy of district administration, eviction of slum post the cyclone and their joy when the government announced to provide them land rights.
