Kundapur, Apr 17: An elderly woman, suffering from an illness, passed away within a few hours of voting from her home in Agrahar, Sastan, on April 15.
The deceased is identified as P Yashoda Narayana Upadhyay (83), wife of retired village accountant officer Narayana Upadhyay. She had been experiencing minor chest pain and fatigue since Saturday night. Despite her condition, she insisted on voting from home on Monday, stating, "I will go to the hospital after voting.”
Although her family urged her to go to the hospital on Monday morning, she expressed her determination, saying, "When the officials come home, they will be upset if I am not there. I have to vote.” They waited until 12:30 pm, and after casting her vote, they took her to a private hospital in Koteshwar. Unfortunately, her condition deteriorated during treatment, and she passed away at 9 pm.
She is survived by a son and two daughters.
