Udupi, Jan 10: In what appears to be a case of doctor’s negligence, a teenage girl died of multiple organs’ failure on Wednesday allegedly due to overdose of drug after she consumed allopathic tablets prescribed by an Ayurveda practitioner at Parkala Agrahara in Udupi.

The victim has been identified as Namrita (17), a resident of Parkala Agrahara and a student of first year PU at Vidydoya PU college in Udupi.

According to sources, a few days ago Namrita had approached an Ayurveda practitioner near her home seeking remedy for pimples on her face. The doctor had reportedly given her four allopathic tablets.

After a couple of days she suffered from high fever and was admitted to Kasturba Medical College Hospital in Manipal on January 6. After examinations, the doctors reportedly told the parents that the girl had suffered multiple organ failure as a result of overdose of medicines. Early on Wednesday morning she breathed her last in the ICU. The college declared holiday on Wednesday to mourn the student’s untimely death.

Ballari, Apr 18: Hosapete town in Ballari district of Karnataka gasped in disbelief as it turned out that 11 members of one single family are positive for the coronavirus.

The whole town has been declared a containment zone and is being surveilled 24X7.

The family includes seven members whose tests returned positive today, three who tested Covid-19 positive on March 30 and one other member subsequently.

The seven who tested positive today had been negative when they were earlier tested along with the others.

They have all now been shifted to isolation wards at the District Hospital in Ballari.

Including this family of 11, Ballari has 13 positive cases so far, with one case each reported from Ballari and Siraguppa towns.

Startled by this sudden upsurge from Hosapete, the district administration has set up 16 fever clinics to screen people and six COVID care centres to treat positive cases. There are two dedicated COVID hospitals, one at Ballari and another at Torangallu in Sandur.

A team of psychological counsellors have been put on duty to provide support to the patients at the isolation centres.
