RAJOURI/JAMMU, Feb 20 (PTI): A 28-year-old woman died of pregnancy complications during treatment at a hospital in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district early Thursday, sparking protest by her agitated relatives against alleged medical negligence, officials said.
The protesters, however, dispersed after Rajouri Additional District Development Commissioner (ADDC) Raj Kumar Thapa visited the scene and assured a time-bound magisterial probe to ascertain the cause of her death.
Karin Devi, the wife of Yash Pal of Mandir Gala village of Rajouri, was admitted in Government Medical College hospital after developing some complications in her seven-month of pregnancy, leading to the loss of the fetus, the officials said.
