In the tragic accident that occurred in Sikkim, two young survivors from Odisha, Swayam Supreet Nayak (16) and Sairaj Jena (17), have safely returned to Bhubaneswar for further medical treatment.
The duo was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Bhubaneswar following their arrival at the Bhubaneswar Railway Station, where they were received by MLA Akash Das Nayak and senior officials from the Odisha Transport Department. A special ambulance was arranged to transport them to the hospital.
The accident took place near the Teesta River in Sikkim, leaving four individuals from Odisha missing, while Swayam and Sairaj were rescued and initially treated at a local hospital in Sikkim.
