In just one month, the Mohan Sarkar relived the I&PR Director Debaprasad Dash from his responsibility, raising eyebrows in the political circle. Despite his reluctance, Dash was given additional charge of the I&PR Department, which he knew, was not his cup of tea. He would have been completed one month tomorrow, but the government shunted him and allowed him to stay as the Special Secretary in Department of Odia Language, Literature, and Culture. Anuj Kumar Das Pattanaik will replace him.
