Bhanjanagar, 26th Aug 2025: A tragic incident has come to light from Bhanjanagar. A 70-year-old mother, unable to endure the agony of watching her son suffer from cancer, ended her life by jumping into a well.

On Sunday, her lifeless body was recovered from a stone-lined well located behind the village pond. The deceased has been identified as Hem Gouda of Brugamundi village under Bhanjanagar. It is believed that she jumped into the well after losing the will to live.
