Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi moved into his new official residence on Raj Bhavan Marg in Bhubaneswar on Thursday.
He conducted a housewarming ceremony at 10:47 am.
A priest who was part of the ceremony explained that the rituals began with worshipping cows, followed by several other important ceremonies. Once the rituals were completed, the Chief Minister, along with his wife, stepped into the house.
According to reports, the official CM residence on Raj Bhavan Marg had been unoccupied for the past 26 years. It was last used by former Chief Ministers Janaki Ballabh Patnaik and Giridhar Gamang.
After becoming Chief Minister, Majhi had initially stayed in government quarters on Gandhi Marg for about eight months. Today, he officially moved into his new residence.
