Balasore: A series of loud and mysterious sounds created panic among residents of Balasore’s Soro and Bhadrak’s Basubedpur for the second consecutive day on Friday.
According to sources, people ran out of their houses as a loud sound was heard between 9:50 am and 10 am. The sound resonated for a few minutes. Residents looked up at the sky and around but could not trace the source. “It felt like an earthquake and much louder than a bomb,” a resident told the media.
On Thursday too, a similar sound was heard three times between 2.55 and 3 pm. Residents also felt a vibration and the doors and windows of their houses shook creating fear in them.
They suspected that it could be because of some tests being conducted by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) at Wheeler Island but district administration sources confirmed that there were no tests conducted.
“I also heard the sound yesterday though today I did not. The district emergency cell has confirmed that there was no thunderstorm. We also checked with DRDO and found there were no tests conducted. It could be due to a test fire from Kalaikunda Air Force Station in West Midnapur district of West Bengal which is not very far from here,” told a senior official to media.
