Keonjhar: Walking on the railway tracks proved to be fatal for a woman. Gouri Panda of Bodapalasa village was crossing the tracks when she was hit by a train at Bodapalasa under Sadar block in Keonjhar district on Monday.
Gouri’s brother Rashmi Ranjan Mishra mans the Raisuan level crossing gate. She had called him on Sunday night to say that she would visit him on Monday morning.
