Sri Ganganagar (Rajasthan): In an extremely unfortunate development, two women died allegedly due to negligence of doctors after undergoing surgery at a sterilisation camp in Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar district.
Following the incident at a sterlisation camp in the district's Suratgarh, the health department has cancelled all other such camps in the district.
After the incident, questions were raised as to why the camp was held at a time when non-urgent surgeries have been put on hold in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
