Bhubaneswar, March 21: Bihar Governor Satya Pal Malik will discharge duties as Governor of Odisha in addition to his duties as Governor of the neighbouring state of Bihar.
Odisha High Court Chief Justice Vineet Saran on Wednesday administered the oath of office to Mr Malik at a special function held in the Raj Bhawan here.
