Resident
of Balangir on Wednesday woke up to a tragic road accident in which a school
student was killed by potato-laden truck. Irate locals burnt the truck near the
All-India Radio station on the Balangir-Titilagarh road.
Partha Mishra (13), a
student of Class-VIII of the Balangir Central School, was going to the school
at around 7 am when he was hit by the truck near the AIR station.
Local people immediately
shifted Partha to the District Headquarters Hospital here, and as his condition
deteriorated, he was shifted to the VSS Medical College Hospital at Burla,
where he succumbed to his injuries.
Agitated local residents
squatted on the road demanding construction of a bypass road. “We have been
demanding a bypass road since long, but the Government is not listening to our
plea. Until a bypass is constructed, such fatal accidents would recur in
future,” said Gopalji Pangrahi of the Balangir Action Committee.
