Bhubaneswar: Tension ran high on the Mayfair-Jaydev Vihar Road in the city this morning after a woman patient died under treatment at the ESI Hospital located nearby and her relatives staged a blockade alleging medical negligence by doctors.

As per the report, the deceased woman identified as Ahalya Bhanja, a resident of Salia Sahi had been admitted to the hospital in serious condition last night. While her condition deteriorated further in the wee hours today, the hospital authorities referred her to a private hospital.

However, the family members of the deceased have alleged that the victim couldn’t have been shifted due delay in the procedure followed for it by the ESI Hospital authorities. After a technical glitch in computer made it almost impossible in preparing documents for the shifting, the patient breathed her last in the morning.

Angry relatives of the deceased took to the streets demanding action on the hospital authorities for the discrepancy and blocked the Mayfair-Jaydev Vihar Road by keeping her body.

The Commissionerate Police removed the blockade later in the day to restore traffic flow on the route.
