She had applied for a passport in the Regional Passport Office, Bhubaneswar today but had problem pertaining to some error in her Aadhaar card, PAN card and voter ID document. However, the issue was solved within no time with the intervention of regional passport officer Digbijoy Giri.
Jakesika is slated to visit Bali for the first International Indigenous Film Festival from January 26-28. The entire tribal community is elated over the news.
