The discovery, made in the Tensa locality of Sundargarh district, has left locals and authorities stunned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Kandulana, a resident of Takara Rengalbedha village under Lahunipada Police limits, had been missing for two months. His family\u2019s desperate search efforts had yielded no clues until local youths alerted authorities about an unusual presence near the dilapidated culvert in a secluded area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The box culvert, long considered unfit for habitation, became an unlikely refuge for Kandulana. Details of how he survived in the inhospitable environment remain unclear, sparking curiosity and raising questions about resilience in the face of extreme adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I first heard about someone using the abandoned culvert as a hideout, I assumed it might be an anti-social element or a thief,\u201d said Sudarshan Dehury, the in-charge of the Tensa police outpost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter verifying his identity, I discovered he was a local man. How he managed to sustain himself there remains a mystery,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locals expressed both relief and amazement at Kandulana\u2019s survival. \u201cIt is hard to imagine how he endured without basic necessities like food and water,\u201d said one resident. After being identified, kind-hearted youths provided him with winter clothing and reunited him with his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family, overwhelmed with emotion, described their frantic efforts to locate him. \u201cWe searched everywhere we could think of, but it seemed as if he had disappeared without a trace,\u201d a relative recounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities have launched an investigation to uncover how Kandulana managed to survive for two months in such conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-DC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bhubaneswar, Nov. 3: In a
