“Three injured were sent to Jajpur Road CHC. They have been discharged after first aid. Another child, who sustained minor injuries, has also been discharged from the hospital. All the necessary arrangements have been made by the Health Department,” said Maharana.

The mother-daughter duo were waiting to board a train at 7 am for Cuttack to visit SCB Medical College and Hospital when the mishap took place. “I went outside the station to fetch tea for my mother-in-law and wife and returned within a few minutes to find them lying dead,” said the deceased daughter’s husband, Balaram Bindhani after the providential escape.

The couple’s 2.5-month-old son, Biswajit, also had a miraculous escape.
