Bhubaneswar: The Odisha chief minister, Naveen Patnaik, released a coffee table book–Paree Paain Kathatiye– and a documentary film on Paree on the occasion of one day workshop on safety of women and children, here on Saturday.
Patnaik, while addressing the “National Workshop on wide consultation by stakeholders on safety of women and children”, said that the fortnight long Paree Paain Kathatiye launched by the Odisha police was a phenomenal success in sensitising all the stake holders on prevention of crime against children.

He urged the stakeholders attending the workshop to evolve an effective action plan to ensure safety of women and children.
