CUTTACK: In a show of compassion, Housing and Urban development minister Krushna Chandra Mahapatra on Saturday rescued a family of four who met with an accident on NH-16 near Telengapenth, and ensured their smooth transportation to the hospital.
After meeting with the accident, Ananta Kumar Sahu, his wife and their two children were in a distressed condition when Mahapatra happened to pass by the area. Seeing them in such a helpless condition, the minister immediately halted his convoy and took charge of the rescue efforts.
Acting swiftly, he ensured that the injured were rushed to a nearby hospital by using his escort vehicle. Not only that, Mahapatra personally reached the hospital and instructed the authorities and staffs to provide necessary treatment to the victims.
