In an inspiring display of dedication, an Anganwadi worker from Banspal block in Keonjhar district has become the talk of the town after risking her life to fulfill her duty. 

As per reports, Karishma Nayak, the Anganwadi worker from Haladihi village under Kadakala panchayat, crossed a swollen river to reach her center.

Due to continuous rainfall, the Malda River had overflowed, inundating the surrounding areas. Haladihi village, situated across the river, has been cut off for the past seven days due to the absence of a bridge. Today, with the river water slightly receding, Karishma set out from her home in Kadakala village and trekked two kilometers before wading through chest-deep water to reach Haladihi.
