A woman from Pulwama died after giving birth to a baby girl even as her family members alleged that she died due to medical negligence at district hospital Pulwama.
The woman has been identified as Anisa Jan wife of Feroz Ahmad Mir of Rakh area of south Kashmir’s Pulwama.
One of her relatives told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that Anisa was in a good condition and was operated upon at around 9 pm yesterday evening at district hospital Pulwama.
