As part of his two-day visit to Odisha, Dubey is set to participate in a series of events across Bhubaneswar, Sambalpur, and Angul. His itinerary begins today with a review meeting at the Nalco Corporate Office in Bhubaneswar, where he will assess the company’s progress and discuss key initiatives.
After the review meeting at Nalco, the Union Minister will head to Angul, where he will inspect the Smelter Plant.

Upon his arrival at Biju Patnaik Airport in Bhubaneswar, Union Minister Satish Chandra Dubey addressed the contentious issue of coal royalty between states and the Centre. He assured that the Modi government does not discriminate against states, saying, “Odisha is an integral part of India and will receive its due share. States are not meted out step-motherly treatment in the Modi government. The NITI Aayog will take a decision on the matter, ensuring that states get what they rightfully deserve.”
