Nalgonda: A 55-year-old tribal woman farmer, Paathulothu Dassi, from Gonyathanda in Adavidevulapally mandal died on Friday due to complications from a leg fracture sustained in a stampede while waiting in a queue for urea at the village’s Rythu Vedika. The stampede occurred five days ago when some farmers in the queue line scrambled to procure urea leading to her injury.
Dassi was initially rushed to a private hospital in Miryalaguda and later shifted to another facility in Nalgonda for treatment. Despite medical efforts, she developed severe health complications and passed away on Friday. The body was taken to Gonyathanda, where her last rites are scheduled for Saturday morning.
Local Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders have blamed the government for the incident, demanding accountability. They had also visited Dassi during her hospital stay to offer support.
