Another tragic road accident occurred on Friday morning on Nabakalevar Road in Puri when a CRUT-operated Ama Bus, traveling from Matiapada to Atharnala, hit a woman, causing severe injuries to her leg. She was immediately rushed to Puri Medical College and Hospital and later referred to AIIMS for advanced care due to the seriousness of her condition.

The incident sparked protests among local residents, who blocked the road to demand government intervention. They highlighted the poor condition of Nabakalevar Road, which they claim has long posed a threat to pedestrians and commuters. Residents demanded that the government cover the medical expenses of the injured woman, provide compensation, convert the road into a one-way stretch, and consider restrictions on bus movement to prevent further accidents.

Kumbharpada police reached the site to manage the situation, control the protests, and investigate the accident while restoring traffic flow.
