Both the ministers received a warm welcome with drum rolls played infront of the arrival gate at the airport.
According to reports, the Union Ministers are on a three day visit to Odisha. They will be visiting six parliamentary constituencies in seven districts of the state.
As per the schedule of the ministers, they have directly moved towards the Jan Ashirwad Yatra programme after arriving at the airport. Thereafter, they will visit to Puri Srimandir for Lord Jagannath darshan.
The union ministers will then travel to Rayagada by train to review the status of various railway projects following which they will also visit Nabarangpur, Kalahandi, Bolangir districts and will finally return to Bhubaneswar after a complete three day visit.
