Bhubaneswar: A pall of gloom descended on the media fraternity in Odisha after a reporter of a leading vernacular daily succumbed to COVID-19 on Saturday.
This is the first case of a mediaperson in Odisha losing his life to the deadly virus, which has claimed 61 lives in the state so far.
A bachelor, the 47-year-old scribe was based at Hinjili in Odisha’s Ganjam district.
