Diversion road collapses, disrupts traffic in Keonjhar
Keonjhar: The diversion road of the under-construction Baunsajora bridge on the Kanjipani–Kuntala road in Keonjhar district collapsed on Sunday, disrupting traffic throughout the day. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Due to the high water flow, the bridge could not be repaired, cutting off communication between Telkoi and Jagmohanpur (NH 49). According to sources, the road near Lokanathpur village, built by the Public Works Department (PWD), was damaged after heavy rains over the past two days. As a result, connectivity from Telkoi to Jagmohanpur, Deogarh, Sambalpur, and Rourkela was severed. More than 20 villages in Telkoi block, including Chhamunda, Binjabahal, and Jagamohanpur panchayat, have been cut off from the block headquarters. Emergency services have also been affected. "People are facing unprecedented problems. Passenger buses and other vehicles are plying on a narrow road through Dobalapal and Chhamunda," said Chinmay Sahu, a local. Locals have urged the district administration to act immediately. PWD officials visited the site after the road collapse. "The road will be repaired soon," said junior engineer Nihar Nayak. Residents blamed the PWD for negligence and poor-quality diversion work. A total of Rs 29.39 crore was sanctioned for constructing two bridges over Hanumantia Nala and Baunsajhari Nala and improving a 12-km stretch from Telkoi to Nampashi in Angul district. However, slow progress in construction has led to the current crisis.

25 Minor Boys Rescued at Nagpur Railway Station in Suspected Child Trafficking Case
Nagpur: In a swift operation, 25 minor boys were rescued at Nagpur railway station in a suspected case of child trafficking . The incident occurred around 7.30pm on platform number 8, when train ticket examiner (TTE) Chinmay Sahu noticed a group of children alighting from Shalimar Express (Train no. 18030), accompanied by two adults. Sensing something suspicious, Sahu immediately alerted the Railway Protection Force (RPF). Assistant sub-inspectors Jhuma Ingle and BK Sarpate, along with other RPF personnel and representatives from Childline India Foundation—Dipali and Ranjit—responded promptly. The team brought the children to the RPF post for further inquiry. During preliminary questioning, the children revealed that they had travelled from various locations in Bihar and West Bengal. With suspicions surrounding the children's travel and destination, the issue was promptly escalated to the inspector in charge, who contacted the District Child Protection Officer (DCPO). Following standard protocol, the minors were taken to Mayo Hospital for medical check-ups and were subsequently handed over to the Government Children's Home at Patankar Chowk. Notices were issued to the two accompanying adults, instructing them to present the children before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) and inform the children's guardians. Authorities are continuing the investigation to determine whether the children were victims of trafficking or part of illegal labour schemes. Legal proceedings are underway against the adults involved.
