Cuttack, Sep 4: In a story that echoes the strength of maternal love, Mamata Panda from Bhanjanagar, Odisha, has become a symbol of resilience and sacrifice. After losing her husband in a tragic train accident in 2014, Mamata moved to Bhubaneswar with her young son, determined to rebuild their lives. She worked as a daily laborer and ensured her son received an education at a government school.

However, tragedy struck again in 2022 when her son, Babulu, suffered severe burns due to a stove explosion while trying to heat food alone at home. With limited financial resources, Mamata rushed him to government and private hospitals, but the treatment costs quickly drained her savings.

Faced with mounting medical expenses and no support, Mamata made an extraordinary decision—she took up a job as a security guard at SCB Medical College in Cuttack, the very hospital where her son was undergoing treatment.

For nearly two years, she has worked tirelessly, guarding hospital wards by day and standing vigil by her son’s bedside by night.

Her son has undergone multiple surgeries and continues to receive care at the hospital’s plastic surgery department. Mamata, now stationed in the maternity ward, has become familiar with medical procedures and staff, all while managing her duties and her son’s recovery.

Despite the emotional and physical toll, Mamata remains unwavering. “No matter how hard it gets, I will do everything to make my son healthy again,” she said, her voice choked with emotion.

Her story has touched many across Odisha, serving as a powerful reminder of a mother’s boundless love and the lengths she will go to protect her child.
