Digital Desk: A wave of outrage has swept through Tamarhat following the tragic death of Khadija Parveen, a Class III student, who succumbed to a snakebite.
The incident has sparked massive protests, with local residents blocking National Highway 127(B) and bringing traffic to a standstill.
The unrest centers on allegations of severe medical negligence at the Tamarhat Primary Health Centre.

Following the public outcry, police detained Ekramul Haque Talukdar late at night.
Protesters are demanding the pharmacist's immediate suspension and legal prosecution, alongside financial compensation for the victim's family.
They are also calling for the urgent appointment of experienced doctors at the health centre.
