Khaira: Tension prevailed in this area of Balasore district after a 2-year-old girl died allegedly due to a wrong injection administered by an Ayush doctor.
The deceased was identified as Lipsita, daughter of Balaram Ram of Raigadhia under the Gagandhuli panchayat.
Soon after the child’s death, agitated family members and villagers blocked the Soro-Kupari state highway at Tudigadia Sunday afternoon.
