Bhubaneswar, Mar 27 (PTI): A 19-year-old youth, who collapsed during a physical test for home guard recruitment in Odisha’s Deogarh district, died hours later in a hospital on Thursday, police said.
The deceased was identified as Saheba Dehury, a resident of Budido village in the district's Reamal block.
He died around 3 am due to lack of proper treatment at the district headquarters hospital, his father Pradip Dehury alleged, adding that no doctor was available to treat his son.
