A BJP delegation led by district president Kanhu Charan Pati on Sunday met Anganwadi Worker Gouri Dalai at the MKCG Medical College Hospital, who had lost one of her legs and sustained critical injuries on the other after a Government bus hit her at Sriram Nagar Square in the city on April 5.
After meeting Gouri and taking stock of her health, Pati demanded the State Government to provide her all the necessary help, Rs 10 lakh compensation and medical treatment. The BJP also demanded the district administration to provide a job to one of her family members in the Indian Rare Earths limited (IREl). Sources said Gouri, who works in Kanchuru Anganwadi Kendra under Hinjili tehsil, was on her way to work in the morning and waiting for the bus while the mishap took place. Driver of a speeding Indian Rare Earths limited bus drove his vehicle extremely right at Srira Nagar Square and ended up hitting Gouri, who was standing on the roadside. Among others, Sisir Padhy, S Rani, Pravat Kiran Sadangi, Sidhanta Gangadev, N Rajendra Kumar, Prabir Patro, Madan Mohan Patro, Kunja Bihari Panda, S Srinivas Rao and Samita Bisoyi were present.
