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.

As part of this phase, the chief minister inaugurated 357 transformed schools in 4 districts. The remodelled institutions include 106 high schools in Ganjam district, 87 in Angul, 57 in Keonjhar and 107 in Jagatsinghpur district.
