“ I am shocked to learn about the death of one person in the unfortunate incident. My deepest condolences to the bereaved family. I met the injured and discussed with the doctors about their treatment. Two engineers have been suspended and high-level has been ordered. Exemplary action would be taken against the persons found guilty,” Patnaik told the media. Meanwhile, opposition political parties blamed the State government for the mishap and are readying to corner the BJD in the Assembly.
