Bhubaneswar, Sept 2: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik would inaugurate naming of the flyover road linking Satya Nagar and Cuttack-Puri road, after Roman Catholic nun, Mother Teresa on September 4.
The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation took the decision of naming the road as Saint Mother Teresa Road, on the request of Odisha Catholic Bishops’ Council (OCBC) chairman, Archbishop John Barwa who had urged the Corporation to name the road after the late missionary as a tribute for her invaluable contribution to humanity through her service and charity.
Housing and Urban Development Minister Pushpendra Singh Deo, Tourism and Culture Minister Ashok Panda and Archbishop John Barwa SVD of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar are likely to grace the occasion as guests.
Notably, Pope Francis will officially declare Mother Teresa as a saint on September 4 in the canonization ceremony in Vatican, Rome.
