The Jajpur district BJP Yuva Morcha along with some leaders of Vyasanagar municipality on Tuesday afternoon on direction of former MlA Sanchita Mohanty met the poor tribal deceased Kuni Munda’s family members, including her blind husband, two minor daughters and son.
According to sources, Kuni (50) had been living at a NH-215 roadside Basti at Nahaka chhak here. Due poverty, Kuni’s family could not afford money for her operation at the SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack. She had returned home 15 days back. On Monday last, Kuni died of severe stomachache.
Due to lack of money and non availability of Mahapranaya vehicle, the deceased’s son Bonty loaded the body in a trolley rickshaw to the burial ground at Vyasa Sarowar area. His two small sisters and blind father followed the trolley about 4 km in front of the crowd.
After the incident, the BJP Yuba Morcha district president Surajlal Samal, vice-president Ajodhyanath Jena, Sunil Rout, Jyotirmay Nayak, Rabindra Puhan, Dusmanta Rout, Biswa Ranjan Pattanayak, Binay Rout, Jagannath Das, Manoj Jamuda, Arun Das, Danagadi Mandal president Prasant Samal, Priya Ranjan Mohanty, Manoj Das, Manoj Behera, Saroj lenka and Kalpataru Sahoo visited Kuni’s house and condoled the death.
