Bhubaneswar, November 26: President Droupadi Murmu is set to address the Odisha Legislative Assembly tomorrow, marking a historic moment as she returns to the very place where she began her political journey as an MLA. This will be the first time a President of India addresses the Odisha Assembly.

The President is scheduled to speak to the members of the Assembly at 4 PM on the opening day of the winter session.

During her visit, President Murmu will also tour Room Number 11, the chamber where she worked during her tenure as a legislator. The room has been specially renovated in preparation for her visit.

Murmu was elected twice from the Rairangpur Assembly Constituency in 2000 and 2004 and held key roles in the BJD-BJP coalition government, serving as Minister of State for Commerce and Transport, and later as the Minister of Fisheries and Animal Resources Development.

In view of the visit, security measures have been tightened across Bhubaneswar, especially around the Odisha Legislative Assembly.
