Oram booed

Rourkela: Residents of Vedvyas on the city outskirts on Saturday received Sundargarh MP and Union tribal affairs minister Jual Oram with “go back” slogan as the minister arrived at the local crematorium where the final rites of the seven accident victims were being performed. Seven persons died on Friday when a Scorpio they were travelling in fell into a river near Khunti. At Oram’s arrival, the situation became so tense that his guards almost had to put a shield around him. He, however, said: “It was a crowd sentiment. They were expecting help since I am a Central minister.”
