In a repeat of the sordid incidents of Kalahandi and Vaishali earlier, relatives of a woman were forced to carry her body home on their shoulders after being allegedly denied an ambulance at a government hospital in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district.

The Odisha government on Wednesday ordered the state's health facilities to ensure that the dead are treated with dignity and respect.

After the tragic incident of Dana Majhi who carried his dead wife's body for 10 km in Odisha's Kalahandi district, another tragic incident has surfaced in the state where daughters had to dismantle the roof of their home to collect wood for their mother's funeral.

Exactly a month since Dana Majhi walked 10 km with his wife's body on his shoulder in Kalahandi district, Odisha Assembly today witnessed uproarious scenes with opposition Congress and BJP demanding a House Committee probe into the incident.

Rejecting allegation that Dana Majhi was denied a hearse by the authorities forcing him to carry his wife's body on his shoulder for 10 km last month, Odisha government today told the Assembly he had never sought any help before leaving Bhawanipatna district headquarters hospital.

Another sad incident has came to light after the Dana Majhi incident of Odisha, when the son of tribal woman named Pana Tirika had to carry her body in a trolley-rickshaw to their village Ankula, located four kilometers away from Jajpur on Saturday after she died at Jajpur District Hospital.

Dana Majhi, who walked 10-km carrying his wife's body on his shoulder in Odisha's Kalahandi district triggering a national uproar, today received a one time assistance of Rs 5 lakh from Sulabh International.

A week after the images of a man carrying his wife's body on his shoulders in Odisha led to outrage in the entire country, the horror has returned. A man in Odisha's Malkangiri district had to walk 6 km carrying his seven-year-old daughter's body as the ambulance transporting them allegedly left them midway today.

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today described as "distressing" the incident of a tribal man forced to walk 10 km with his wife's body on his shoulder as he was allegedly denied a hearse and said stringent action would be taken against the guilty.
