Of the six deceased, four hailed from Ganjam—two each from Digapahandi and Dharakote blocks. The rest two belonged to Mohana block in neighboring Gajapati district.

When the body of Dandapani Badatya (48) reached Chasa Nimakhandi, and that of Banamali Behera (30) arrived in Bangarada, heart-wrenching scenes unfolded in the two villages under Digapahandi block. Both men were the sole breadwinners of their families, leaving behind elderly parents and young children who now face a bleak future.
