Kumram Bheem Asifabad: The family members of a new mother staged a dharna demanding action against the management of a private hospital following her death in Kaghaznagar on Friday. They later dispersed after police assured them of justice.

Family members of Rehana Sulthana (32) staged a sit-in in front of the hospital with her body. They alleged that she died due to the negligence of the doctors in delivering a baby in the second gravida. They held Dr Jyothi of the nursing home responsible for the death, and demanded that medical and health department officials seize the hospital.
