An elderly couple, in heir eighties, has to beg for breads after their adopted son deserted them. They are Kumuduni Dei and her husband Benudhar of Anjira village under Kanas block in Puri district.
What is more disheartening is that the hapless couple is yet to get justice even after bringing their plight to the notice of the State Government last year.

On September 27 last year, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik after receiving their grievance had directed the Puri Collector and SP to take necessary steps following an inquiry in this connection. Over a year has been passed, but nothing has been done to help the octogenarians, who are toiling hard to survive.
Though the couple had a happy life with son Arjun much before, things began to sour between them when the latter got married and became a father of two kids. He left his elderly parents in a shanty and stayed separately. It is also alleged that Arjun used to torture his parents both mentally and physically. With no option left, the helpless couple chose to go for begging door-to-door for food.
