In Gaurwadi village, a 12-year-old girl named Supriya Babru Ghadge, a Class 7 student, passed away due to a snakebite on Tuesday evening. The incident occurred after she returned from school and was playing outside her home when she was bitten by a venomous snake. Despite her family's frantic search for a vehicle, none could be found promptly, leading to a delay in seeking medical help.
The lack of timely transport, combined with the family's extreme poverty, prevented Supriya from reaching the nearest hospital in time. By the time they managed to arrange transport and reach the government cottage hospital in Neknoor, doctors confirmed that she had been brought dead. The tragedy has exposed the challenging socio-economic conditions experienced by rural families in the district.
Supriya had lost her father in an accident two years ago, making her mother the sole provider for their six children. Her mother, also a sugarcane-cutting laborer, was preparing to work at a sugar mill when the incident occurred. The community has expressed profound grief and anger over the incident, emphasizing the family's poverty and the absence of emergency transport and healthcare facilities in rural areas.
