West Godavari District Collector P. Prasanthi on Tuesday ordered an inquiry into the three maternal and four infant mortalities reported between April and July this year in the district.
The death of three women — Dunna Gowri (24), P. Naga Bhavani (27) and Kamatam Srivani (25) — was declared as “maternal deaths,” Ms. Prasanthi said in a release.
Narsapuram Sub-Collector C. Vishnu Charan would conduct a magisterial inquiry into the death of Gowri, who had delivered a baby on May 4 and died on May 27 at Tanuku, the Collector said.
