Nabarangpur, 11th Sept 2025: In a heartwarming act of humanity, Nabarangpur MLA Gaurishankar Majhi saved the lives of a heavily intoxicated father and his 2-year-old daughter late Monday night.
While returning from Ganesh Mandap at Churahanadi after partaking in prasad, the MLA—along with BJP leaders Debdas Mahakud, Bhuban Nayak, and Murali Beshoyee—was travelling in a car when they noticed two figures lying on the side of the road. Curious and concerned, they reversed the vehicle and approached the scene, only to be shocked at what they saw.
A man, completely drunk, was lying unconscious in the middle of the road, with his little daughter sleeping beside him and a stray dog sitting nearby. Moved by the scene and sensing the danger the pair was in, the MLA immediately took action.
Fearing that they could have been run over by any vehicle in the dead of night, MLA Majhi picked them up and arranged for their shelter in San Masigaan village. He personally ensured their safety and asked the villagers to take care of them for the night.
According to reports, the man was so intoxicated he could barely get up, while the little girl was fast asleep and unaware of the danger. Had it not been for the MLA’s timely intervention, both of them could have easily fallen victim to a tragic road accident.
Interestingly, the stray dog that had been sitting beside them followed the MLA’s car for nearly 5 kilometers and reached San Masigaan along with them. Villagers said that had the MLA not come across them that night, the drunk man and his innocent daughter might not have survived.
This act of kindness and responsibility by the MLA has received wide appreciation across various social and media platforms.
