In a tragic incident in Jharsuguda district's Laikera block, a man was forced to carry his wife's body on a motorcycle after failing to get a hearse or administrative help. Naresh Chhatria's wife, Jamuna, was declared dead at Mundrajor Community Health Centre. An auto-rickshaw driver allegedly demanded 5,000 rupees, which the family couldn't afford. Former MLA Dipali Das criticized the administration for this inhumane situation despite ample DMF/CSR funds. Current MLA Tankadhar Tripathy visited the family and stated that the situation arose because the family refused a post-mortem due to social customs and financial concerns.
