Lost A Grandson and Grand-nephew
He had many bereavements earlier. His grandson and grandnephew (his brother's grandson) died of road accidents - the former near Chowdwar, close to Cuttack, and the latter (Kabeer Chaudhury) in Indiana in USA on October, 1983. He was completely shaken and for many days cried in silence! In addition to this, his anguish over the mounting selfishness of the educated few and the poverty of the common people made him more restless and sick.
By mid-June 1984, Nabababu’s health had further deteriorated, when the wedding of Kasturi, his granddaughter was celebrated. After the departure of Kasturi and her husband to Guwahati, the atmosphere at Bajiraut Chhatravas was rather gloomy. Nabababu breathed his last following a massive heart attack on 24 June. He was 83.
