Sambad English identifies the deceased as Mangulu Bhoi, a resident of nearby Paranga village, while The New Indian Express gives his name as Mangalu Bhoi of Parang village and his age as 55. The company said an iron ore-laden truck reversing inside the premises hit a boundary wall, which collapsed on the worker. The New Indian Express reports he was rushed to the district headquarters hospital but succumbed, and that the truck driver fled after the accident. Villagers staged a dharna demanding compensation and a job for a family member. The New Indian Express says the agitation was called off after plant authorities agreed, a negligence case was registered against the driver, and the assistant director of factories and boilers launched an inquiry. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - sambadenglish.com (neutral report) Leads with the death, mentions prior accident, no inquiry details. - newindianexpress.com (neutral report) Adds age, hospital, police case, inquiry, and protest resolution.
