Brahmapur MLA Bikram Panda once again hogged limelight for helping the poor, helpless and distressed people.
Mention may be made that, one old and ailing helpless woman, identified as Chitti Amma who was reportedly staying near Hanuman Bazar under Bada Bazar Police circle was found dead and the body of the deceased was lying for a long time near by a temple.
Soon after getting information about the body, Brahmapur MLA Bikram Kumar Panda instantly reached at the spot and made all arrangements for cremation. Panda with a band of BJD Youth and Student wing leaders and volunteers took the body to the nearest Nilakantheswar Cremation ground and made all necessary arrangements for the cremation. Even though the deceased was having no one to take care of her body, but MLA Panda conducted the cremation with all rituals under his assistance and supervision in a most dignified way and set an example for others.
Panda was accompanied with District BJD VP Sanjeet Kumar Panigrahi, besides party workers and volunteers here on Monday.
It may be recalled here that, Panda during the crucial pandemic had opened a help desk at Nilakantheswar Cremation ground where wood and other required materials were made available to the poor and helpless Covid victims for cremation. Panda then facilitated several Covid victims for cremation with the help of “Mo Parivar” programme. He was also honored with “Covid Yodha Samman” for his ungrudging help to poor and helpless.
