Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik was one of the first to condole the demise of the singer. He took to Twitter and paid his condolences.”Saddened to know about the demise of popular singer Murali Mohapatra. His sweet voice will always ignite the hearts of listeners. May his soul rest in peace. My condolence to his family,” Patnaik tweeted in Odia.

Mohapatra was dubbed the “Akshaya Mohanty of Jeypore” because he used to imitate the late great Odia singer, songwriter, and composer Akshaya Mohanty’s singing style. He was also a government employee, working in the Jeypore sub-office.
