As per the report of OTV, MP Mohanty, who was on a visit to flood-ravaged Alapua village under Pattamundai block of the district , was gheraoed by locals over alleged negligence on part of the actor-turned-MP citing that he is seldom seen in the worst-hit areas.

The people, some of whom have lost theirhouses and belongings to the flood, further demanded adequate relief materials apart from supply of food till the crisis subsides,” an OTV report said.
