Anna Hazare on three-day Odisha visit from tomorrow

Bhubaneswar: Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare will be visiting Odisha on Thursday for the first time. "The three-day visit is significant as Anna Hazare is coming to Odisha for the first time. It will strengthen the anti-corruption movement in the state," said Akshyay Kumar, member of the National Coordination Committee of India Against Corruption (IAC).

Soon after his arrival here in afternoon, Anna Hazare would be taken in a massive motor-cycle rally through the main streets of the state capital, he said.
