"Hosted a dinner in honour of President Kovind Ji. Smt. Droupadi Murmu Ji, Venkaiah Ji, other esteemed dignitaries including Ministers were present.

Meanwhile, the preparations for the swearing in ceremony of President elect Droupadi Murmu on Monday in the central hall of the Parliament House are on in full swing.
The Ministry of Personnel has also ordered closure of certain buildings in the area till 2 pm on Monday to ensure smooth conduct of the swearing in ceremony. The construction of new Parliament building will also be stopped during the time of the ceremony.
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik will also arrive to attend the swearing in ceremony of Droupadi Murmu.
