Senior Congress leaders, including PCC President Bhakta Charan Das, Niranjan Patnaik, Rama Chandra Kadam and Jayadev Jena, visited Keonjhar’s Tangiri Duburi village to meet families of 14 Juang tribal girls who died in an ammonia gas leak at a factory in Tiruvallur, Tamil Nadu.

Congress blamed the Odisha Government for administrative failure, demanded compensation, rehabilitation of migrant workers, tribal land rights, local employment, and better utilization of district mineral funds for tribal welfare.
