Over 1000 drivers, helpers, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and officials swiftly acted, dedicating them to the rescue work that continued for more than 48 hours.

    Many crew members have shown unwavering dedication to rescue operation and have worked round the clock to support the rescue effort.

Furthermore, more than 20 crew members donated blood at different hospitals, offered assistance to the patients and their relatives during this challenging time.

Based on the initial ambulance reports, additional ambulances were dispatched to the accident site. The first ten ambulances reached the site even before the ODRAF, NDRF, and Fire Services reached at the spot.

The injured, including critical cases, were transported to six healthcare centres, mainly Soro Community Health Centre, Balasore District Headquarters Hospital (DHH), Gopalpur Primary Health Center, Iswarpur Primary Health Center, Khantapada Community Health Center, and Nilgiri SDH.
