A truck has sunk in a 50-ft-deep dam called Harabhangi and efforts are being made to rescue it.

According to a source, there was a frightening incident in Odisha's Gajapati district where a container truck fell into the Harabhangi dam and reservoir. Fortunately, the driver, Sanjeev Yadav, managed to escape unhurt. The incident took place near Adapanka village, under the Adava police station limits, on Wednesday. The truck was on its way from Rayagada to Berhampur when it happened.

Yadav explained to the police that he lost control of the truck while trying to make way for a car coming from the opposite direction. This caused the truck to swerve off the road and into the reservoir. As soon as the Adava police and Fire Services personnel from Mohana were informed about the incident, they rushed to the spot. They immediately started rescue operations, but the water level of the dam, which is more than 50 feet deep, made it difficult.

The team is currently trying to make alternative arrangements to retrieve the truck from the reservoir. However, the locals in the area have expressed their concerns about the lack of warning signboards along the road, which they believe is the reason for the frequent accidents in the area. In a separate incident, three people were arrested after a body was found in a rock cavity. The details of the incident are being investigated. This is a developing story and we will provide updates as they become available.
