Bhubaneswar, Feb 6: President Droupadi Murmu is set to conclude the Mayurbhanj leg of her Odisha tour on Friday, marking the end of her visit to the Similipal Tiger Reserve. On Thursday night, the President stayed at the Gudugudia Forest Rest House located within the reserve.

On Friday morning, President Murmu will depart from Gudugudia and head to Gudugudia Ground, where she will inaugurate a tribal community development initiative. During the event, she will interact with tribal women and youth, emphasizing the Government of India’s commitment to inclusive growth, community welfare, and tribal empowerment.

In addition to this, the President will distribute blankets to residents of the Similipal reserve area, further reinforcing her efforts to support local communities in need.

After completing her engagements in Similipal, President Murmu will travel to Bhubaneswar via a special flight from Kaleikunda airbase. In Bhubaneswar, she is scheduled to attend the Black Swan Conference and will stay overnight at Lok Bhavan. On Saturday, the President is set to depart for Chhattisgarh.

Given the high-profile nature of the visit, extensive security measures have been implemented across Mayurbhanj and Bhubaneswar. Senior administrative and police officials are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the smooth execution of all events.

President Murmu’s visit to Odisha is part of a six-day tour. Earlier in the week, she visited Puri, where she performed religious rituals, including Pinda Daan at Shwetaganga and offered prayers at the Srimandir. She also visited her native place, Rairangpur, before heading to Similipal.
