BJD MP Ramesh Majhi injured in accident

Bhubaneswar: The Biju Janata Dal MP, Ramesh Chandra Majhi, was injured in a road accident in Nabarangpur district.

The accident took place at Dargaguda when Majhi, the Nabarangpur MP, his driver and PSO (personal security officer) were returning home at Umerkote from Raipur.

The vehicle was damaged in the mishap in the early hours of Sunday. However, the MP said he only got a scratch on his body.

“I, my PSO and driver were returning home from Raipur by a vehicle. Around 1.30 am, suddenly the vehicle skidded off the road and fell into a roadside bush. However, neither of us was seriously injured in the accident”, Majhi said.

The accident may be because the driver dozed off or tyre burst, he said, adding, “I was busy on the phone when the accident took place”.

“After getting a tetanus injection, I was discharged from the hospital. We all are now doing fine”, the MP said.
