Mangaluru, Oct 5: An 18-year-old girl who had been suffering from multiple ailments for nearly one decade due to endosulfan poisoning, breathed her last yesterday.

The deceased has been identified as Divya G, a resident of Padubettu near Nelyadi, in Belthangady taluk of Dakshina Kannada district.

Divya’s father Vaman Naik is a daily wage labourer, and mother Pushpavathi is a beedi roller.

In spite of her illness Divya had continued to pursue education and had appeared for PU I examinations. She was given physiotherapy, treatment and education support at the Endosulfan Day Care Centre in Kokkada.

However, recently Divya’s ailments had worsened. According to her uncle Sudhakara, the girl breathed her last around 1.20am. “We would carry her to the day care centre, where she was given treatment, physiotherapy and support for her education. She was academically brilliant too,” he said.

The cause of death is said to be renal failure. There are thousands of endosulfan victims in coastal districts of Karnataka and most of them are in Belthangady taluk.
