Public Outrage Erupts Over Snake-Bite Fatalities at Dombivli Hospital

A significant public outcry unfolded in Dombivli as demonstrations took place outside the Shastri Nagar Hospital following the recent deaths of two individuals from snake bites.

The casualties, a young child and her aunt, reportedly died because the hospital lacked essential anti-snake venom injections. Allegations surfaced about absent medical staff when the victims were admitted.

In a display of unity, local political and social groups condemned the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) for its alleged negligence, despite managing a substantial annual budget. An official investigation has been announced, with officials promising accountability for any discovered misconduct.
