Hence, her parents first took her to Mahakalapada hospital and then to Kendrapara District Head Hospital. But the doctor there declared her dead. It was a great setback for the parents.
However, after the death of the girl, Krishnachandra and Jharana wanted to donate her eyes. They contacted the helpline number from the poster on the medical wall and asked for the girl’s eyes to be donated.

With this, his daughter will come back to life, said Krishnachandra in an emotional voice. It is true that the family is devastated by the untimely death of the little girl, but this noble work of the family is being discussed all over the area.
