Corruption Is ‘Poison’, Says Odisha CM to Government Employees

Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Tuesday urged government employees to treat corruption as “poison”, warning that any involvement in unethical practices could endanger both their careers and personal lives.

Majhi delivered the strong message while distributing appointment letters to newly recruited government staff at the 12th Nijukti Mela and orientation programme held at Kalinga Stadium.

“Treat corruption as poison and stay as far away from it as possible. This is extremely dangerous for you and your career,” the Chief Minister said, reminding recruits of their responsibility to serve people with honesty and dedication.

The event marked another step in the government’s drive to fill vacancies across departments and promote transparent governance.
