The mortal remains of 46-year-old Odia youth Pramod Sahu, who died in Saudi-Arabia, were brought back to Odisha after nine days, thanks to the timely intervention of BJP National VP and Kendrapara MP, Baijayant Panda. 

Pramod, a resident of Kulasamit village under Salepur in Cuttack district, had reportedly died of a heart attack on February 13 while working abroad.

“I had requested our dear Kendrapara MP Baijayant Panda to safely bring back the body. I’m thankful that Panda and his office fully cooperated with us, and his body is being brought back safely after the post-mortem and other procedures. We were worried that the body could not be brought back. However, thanks to our dearest MP and his effort, it has become possible now. All credit goes to him. The boy passed away on Feb 13. After following all the due procedures, they are finally sending the body back home,” informed Satyabadi Chaini, neighbour of the deceased.
