THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has demanded a murder case be registered against those responsible for the death of a 23-year-old woman during delivery at a Naturopathy hospital in Manjeri.

IMA state president Dr E K Ummer and secretary Dr N Sulphi said the government should hold a thorough investigation and take stringent action against the guilty.

“Such fake treatments are spreading in the state. The government should take stern steps against such evil. The incident has occurred when the government is trying to bring down maternal and infant mortality,” they said.

IMA also constituted a committee under its Ethics Committee chairman Dr Sreekumar Vasudevan to look into the incident. Medical negligence and ignorance led to the woman’s death, the Malappuram District Medical Officer had found.

The much-awaited 50-day Kumbh Mela commenced on 15 January to a roaring start as auspicious Makarsankranti dawned upon the sangam, the confluence of holy Ganga, Yamuna and mythological Saraswati, and 1.25 crore devotees, including sadhus, seers, religious leaders and common public took a holy dip amid chants of 'Har Har Gange' during the first 'shahi snan' in Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad). A holy dip at Sangam is believed to lead the devotees towards the atonement of their sins and it frees a person from the cycle of death and birth. The Ardh Kumbh, which has been renamed as Kumbh this time, falls every six years. (Photo | Pushkar V / EPS)
