Berhampur: Body of a 26-year-old migrant labourer, who died in his rented house in Chennai on Sunday, reached his village at Boripadar in Ganjam district’s Digapahandi block on Wednesday following the intervention of MLA (Digapahandi) Sidhant Mohapatra.
The labourer, Kuma Gouda, was working as a labourer in a construction company.
