Villagers complain against doctors

ADILABAD: villagers of Sunkidi in Ichoda mandal on Saturday lodged a complaint with the tahsildar against doctors at the primary health centre, whose absence allegedly resulted in the death of Rathod Anita, 26, on Friday night, due to diarrhoea and vomitings. The woman was reportedly taken to the PHC in the evening. When no doctors were found, she was being shifted to Government hospital, Adilabad, when she breathed her last near Mavala village, about 5 km. from Adilabad.
