In a shocking incident, an 80-year-old man had to crawl all the way to the local panchayat office to avail his old-age pension.
The distressing incident reportedly occurred at Koro Gram Panchayat in Kendrapara district on Thursday.
The elderly man has been identified as Sridhar Sahu.
As per reports, Sridhar found himself in this dire situation after panchayat officials declined to allow his daughter to collect the pension on his behalf.
This month, Sridhar's usual practice of sending his daughter was not accepted by the panchayat officials, leaving the octogenarian no choice but to make the arduous journey himself.
