Orissa will soon accord state anthem status to a patriotic song, officials said Sunday.
The 1.38-minute 'Vande Utkala Janani', written by Kanta Kavi Laxmikanta Mohapatra, is already being sung at various government and private functions.
A meeting of top officials and ministers chaired by the speaker of the Orissa assembly Saturday decided to bring in necessary legislation in the next assembly session in this regard, a home department official told IANS.
