Two tribal women die in Odisha after consuming mango kernel gruel
Two tribal women died and seven others fell sick after allegedly consuming mango kernel gruel in far-flung Mandipanka village under Daringbadi block of Odisha’s Kandhamal district.
At least six persons were killed and five others critically injured when a pick-up van carrying them rammed into a stationary trailer truck from the rear near the Gaikanapali village under Hemgiri police station jurisdiction in Odisha’s Sundargarh district during the wee hours of Saturday.
The poor visibility due to dense fog might be one of the causes of the road mishap. Besides, the driver of the van might have possibly dozed off leading to the mishap.
A case has been registered in this connection.
