On the complaint of vomiting, diarrhea and stomach ache, a laboring father came to the district hospital with 3 children. Of these, one child died during treatment. Eyewitnesses say that he did not find a stretcher either on his way to the hospital or on his way out. Therefore, with the son’s body on his shoulder, he had to come till the road to find the tempo. However, two other children are hospitalized.

From here they were sent to the second building of the hospital, the Mother and Child Institute. But, here Sameer was declared dead. But from here he was not available even to the stretcher. So Shyamlal reached the tempo on the road carrying the son’s corpse on his shoulder. The wife also came with him on foot. Both kept wandering on the road for auto in the scorching heat.
