Abohar, March 12

A day after a 70-year-old woman succumbed to injuries reportedly caused by a stray bull, her husband also died of heart attack yesterday night.

The couple’s daughter, Pinky, an ASHA worker, said her mother, Prakash Devi, was hit by a stray bull recently, when she was passing through a street on the way to the hospital, where she was going to get medicine. She was hospitalised but could not be saved. Yesterday, her husband Jugnu (72), who was working with a private ambulance operator, suffered a heart attack and was declared dead when taken to the government hospital.

The Nar Sewa Narayan Sewa Samiti chief said it was unfortunate that the government had failed to resolve the problem of stray bulls, despite dozens of deaths in the past few years.
