Bhubaneswar, March 20: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has informed the Assembly on Thursday that 50 journalists in the state succumbed to Covid-19 during the pandemic.

 Responding to a query from BJD MLA Souvic Biswal from Choudwar, CM Majhi stated that the state government provided an ex gratia of ₹15 lakh each to the next of kin of 49 journalists. 

However, he clarified that the family of one journalist from Cuttack district did not receive the compensation, as they had already availed similar assistance from another state.
