A woman who was bitten by a venomous snake in Mudigere taluk died due to non-availability of anti-venom injection.
Sharadamma of Salumaradahalli suffered a snake bite on Tuesday. She was rushed to the government hospital at Mudigere. From there she was shifted to Chikkamagaluru as anti-venom injection was not available in the taluk centre. Even in Chikkamagaluru, the staff could not arrange for an injection. The relatives had approached a couple of private hospitals too. But the efforts did not yield results.
After struggling for over three hours, Sharadamma died in Chikkamagaluru.
