Two Fatalities in Two Days
Amid the intensifying cold, two people including a 21-year-old youth have died due to heart attack and brain haemorrhage. Family members claim both deaths were triggered by cold exposure.
On Tuesday morning, Kaushlendra Kushwaha (51), a resident of Yashwant Nagar, suffered a brain haemorrhage. He was rushed to Bhopal, but succumbed on Wednesday evening. The same day, in the afternoon, Kashyap Chaube (21) from Gawoi Pura suddenly experienced severe pain in his leg. His family took him to the district hospital, where doctors confirmed that he had died due to a heart attack. Relatives of both victims say they had fallen ill after being exposed to cold.
Raisen District Hospital’s Civil Surgeon, Dr. Yashpal Balian, said that Kashyap Chaube had complained of chest pain and most likely died of a heart attack. He added that the risk of heart attacks rises significantly in cold weather. Kaushlendra Kushwaha was also brought to the district hospital before being referred to Bhopal for treatment of a brain haemorrhage.
Doctors warn that the winter has only just begun and temperatures may fall further in December. They advise immediate medical consultation for anyone experiencing symptoms related to heart or brain conditions during extreme cold.
Temperature Expected to Drop Further
According to the Meteorological Department, snowfall in nearby hilly regions is affecting weather conditions in Raisen and other districts of Madhya Pradesh. Dewfall continued throughout Wednesday night, leaving vehicles parked outdoors covered in moisture.
The department has also issued a caution that temperatures both daytime and nighttimecould fall even more in the coming days. Experts note that severe cold can adversely affect the heart and brain, as low temperatures slow blood circulation and increase the risk of blood clotting.
