Only 2 of a family of 19 return from Uttarakhand

Sambalpur  : In a heart-drenching episode, 19 members of a family, who had gone to Uttarakhand on a religious visit, became victims of the tumultuous floods, which destroyed entire villages in the state.

Just two members of the family of Odisha returned to their home. The two men, Suraj and Pramod, who came back have been speechless and for the last three days since their return refuse to eat or say anything.

The family left for the pilgrimage on June 5. During their visit to the holy place of Kedarnath, the flood arrived.
