CM Majhi also assured that Prashant's wife would be provided with a government job, and his son's education would be fully supported by the state government. The Chief Minister paid last respect to Satpathy after arriving at his residence. He also interacted with the grieving family. Notably, Prashant, a resident of Balasore district, was on a family vacation with his wife and son.
It is worth mentioning that Prashant, his wife Priyadarshini, and their nine-year-old son were getting off a ropeway in Pahalgam when terrorists suddenly opened fire. The attack caused panic and destruction. In the chaos, Prashant was shot in the head and unfortunately died from his injuries. Notably, as many as 28 civilians, mostly tourists, were killed when terrorists opened fire at Baisaran, a well-known meadow near the resort town of Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, around 3 PM on Tuesday.
