On June 9, the government authorities demolished a portion of the high school that had been used as a temporary mortuary to store approximately 250 bodies of the June 2 train crash victims before they were transferred to various mortuaries in response to requests from frightened students, teachers, and locals.

Previously, Naveen had requested that the Balasore district collector submit a detailed plan for the construction of a new school structure as a government 5T model school. A team of senior officers, including the chief secretary, questioned parents, teachers and students about the school building.

Immediate after the train accident, limbless and headless corpses were recovered from the mangled coaches of the two passenger trains and stored in the six classrooms and dining hall of the school located 500 metres away from the accident site. The district administration was compelled to demolish and rebuild a portion of the school because so many students and instructors avoided attending.

The school reopened on Wednesday following the conclusion of the summer break. Many parents dropped off their children at school, as opposed to the past when children would arrive alone. Before classes began, a yagna was performed for the serenity of mind of the students. According to sources, only 112 of the 556 pupils enrolled in Classes I through X were present on the first day of school.
