A dalit boy gives ray of hope in Jharsuguda
indianexpress Express News Service , The New Indian Express
JHARSUGUGDA: It was a mixed year for the industrial district of Jharsuguda.
A Dalit boy Ashok Rohidas proved that humble background is no hurdle
to success. He rose from being a cowherd to a meritorious student,
completed his diploma engineering and joined a local private industry.
�The year was marked by high-profile visits of Naveen Patnaik,
Governor M C Bhandare and Congress scion and AICC general secretary
Rahul Gandhi.
�However, the district had its share of accidental deaths as three of
a family were electrocuted after high tension overhead wires snapped
and fell on them at village Kodaloi in Lakhanpur block. Six of a
wedding party died after the vehicle carrying them rammed into a
stationary truck on NH-200 near Sukhabandh village.
SCERT deputy director Srikant Routray alleged of molesting five girl
students of Gandagura Upper Primary School generated much heat and
condemnation leading to his subsequent arrest.
�The district saw students' agitations for days after a college girl
was raped and murdered by one of her family acquaintances who was
later arrested by Brajrajnagar police.
�Towards the end of the year, 10 passengers of the Samaleswari Express
suffered injuries after it collided with a goods train.
