Bargarh: In a tragic incident, a five-month-old girl died today near the Bargarh Cement factory ground from where Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik flew in a helicopter during a return journey to Bhubaneswar after concluding a one-day visit to the district.
When the baby girl was rushed to the Bargarh district headquarters hospital, doctors declared her brought dead. Though the reason of the death was not known till the filing of this report, the district administration is waiting for the post-mortem report.
Sobbing Sabita Bag, mother of the deceased and a resident of Demcolony Pada of Bargarh town, carrying the body said, “I went to the factory ground along with my elder son to see the Chief Minister. As soon as I got down from the auto in which I and my children went with eight other women to the ground, I gave my daughter cow milk. When the Chief Minister’s helicopter took off, my baby daughter turned her head right and left while staring and lost senses thereafter. Immediately I took the child to a doctor stationed near to the factory ground who advised me to take the baby to the district headquarters hospital. With the help of police personnel, I took the baby girl to the hospital in a police van where doctors declared her brought dead.”
