A 40-year-old man, Gangadhar Biswal, of Bajapur of Katanabania gram panchayat under Kendrapada block’s Rajkanika block reportedly committed suicide at Haryana after failing to return home.
Gangadhar was working at a Yamunananagar-based company. As companies were shut down, he and other Odia workers stranded at Harayana. As they could not meet their daily basic needs after a few days, they appealed to the Odisha government by posting a video in social media to help them come back to their villages.
As the Governments of Odisha and Harayana didn’t take any step for his return, Gangadhar committed suicide on Tuesday night by hanging self from a tree in Harayana, informed his wife Sabit.
The deceased Gangadhar is survived by mother, wife and two minor sons of nine-year and 12-year age. The eldest son is dumb from birth.
“The State Government is responsible for the untimely demise of my husband,” alleged Sabita.
