Doctors' Strike Delays Post-Mortem of Teenager Killed in Odisha Landslide
In Odisha's Sundargarh district, an 18-year-old named Krish Katshav died in a landslide at an unauthorized manganese mining site. Due to ongoing strike action by around 8,000 doctors under the Odisha Medical Services Association since Wednesday, the post-mortem examination of his body was delayed for two days, preventing his family from performing last rites. Another minor injured in the incident is receiving treatment in a hospital in Keonjhar district. The doctors' strike has affected patient care across district and rural hospitals in Odisha.
