Naveen Patnaik: Namaste Modi Ji, my apologies for calling you at 12.15 midnight. I was expecting Corona testing kits by tomorrow but some logistic issues arose and trucks carrying those kits are stuck in Mumbai now. We need them urgently...
PM Modi: I can understand. Please don't worry, I will personally see to it and ensure it reaches your state capital sooner.
Naveen Patnaik: Thanks. But I need it by today morning, anyhow!
PM Modi: Do you mean within the next 6 hours?
Soon after this phone call at late night, PM's office went busy to make it happen. When one CM is willing to serve his people at any cost, the PMO can't let him down. Many calls were made, orders were typed and then faxed to various officials and establishments. Arrangements were being made in a great hurry. Nashik airport was temporarily reopened at the midnight to make an Air Force flight land, load testing kits, and fly to Bhubaneswar. The flight delivered the kits to Bhubaneswar Airport. When the sun was rising in Odisha, many government vehicles were already on roads, driving to different destinations carrying those kits.
Heartening to see such a constructive partnership between a CM and the PM.
