Berhampur: A five-year-old boy died after a concrete slab from the ceiling of his house fell on him.
The incident took place around 2 am at Punanda village in Gothagaon panchayat under Shergad block of Ganjam district when the child was sleeping with his father, mother and brother.
Hearing screams and a loud noise, neighbours rushed to the spot and took the four to Shergad hospital for treatment. However, the five-year-old boy, identified as Priyanshu Nayak, was declared dead by the doctors at the hospital.
