‘Diwali feels empty when a life ends’:Boy had wished for a bicycle on birthday but died; 3 families share their pain and grief

Hitansh, a lively 10-year-old boy, loved playing, taking medicine, and celebrating festivals. He had been full of energy, playing in the neighborhood for days after taking Coldrif syrup. The joy of his presence is now gone. His elder brother sits silently, missing him but too young to express his grief. Hitansh loved bursting firecrackers and preparing for Diwali, but this year the family celebrates in sorrow. Hitansh’s birthday was on October 1, and he had wished for a bicycle. His mother, Priya, says the deaths of 26 children in Chhindwara from contaminated cough syrup have left darkness in their homes. “Why should we celebrate Diwali now?” she asks, mourning the children lost.Read the full report… 26 hildren dead so far due to cough syrup 26 children have died in Chhindwara due to drinking poisonous cough syrup. The initial cause of the children’s deaths is being reported as kidney failure, but it was not limited to this. The diethylene glycol chemical included in the cough syrup gradually damaged other organs of the children, including the liver and lungs. The most horrifying aspect of this is that the children’s brains stopped functioning due to the poisonous medicine. In this case, post-mortems of 3 children have been conducted, but the administration and health department are suppressing its report. Many children who used the medicine are still undergoing treatment at a Nagpur hospital. In this case, the doctor who prescribed the syrup and the company owner have been arrested. Mother said – He asked for a bicycle on his birthday
Hitansh’s mother Priya said – When his elder brother used to launch rockets or burst big firecrackers, he would also insist. Hitansh used to start preparing for clothes, shoes, and firecrackers in advance. But this time, the light of the house has been extinguished, so what kind of Diwali? But the traditions will be observed. If everyone in the neighborhood celebrates with fireworks, Hitansh’s elder brother will also feel like it, so his father will now let him do whatever he wants according to his wish. Currently, he is quiet and missing his younger brother. Hitansh’s birthday was on October 1st. He had been saying for a long time that he wanted a bicycle for this birthday. But he wasn’t there to celebrate this birthday. Then his brother brought a small plastic bicycle from the shop and placed it near his photo on his birthday. He misses him a lot. Shripal said- Daughter Ambika was afraid of firecrackers, now only memories remain
Shripal’s 3-year-6-month-old innocent daughter Ambika Vishwakarma was afraid of the sound of firecrackers. She always used to watch her siblings light firecrackers from inside the house. When a sparkler was lit, its light was clearly visible on her face. Ambika died on October 15. Now she is only in the memories of her brother and sister. Ambika has two sisters and one brother. She was the youngest, so everyone loved her very much. Ambika was very attached to her uncle. When her uncle came to the house gate, she would climb into his lap and insist on chocolate. But now all this will not happen, because Ambika is no longer in this world. Regarding Diwali, Ambika’s uncle said that she used to stand in the courtyard and watch her brother and sister light sparklers. She was scared, so she never insisted on lighting firecrackers or sparklers. Now there is only silence in the house. Everything was staked to save only daughter Yogita
Sushant Thackeray of Badkuhi is a teacher in a private school. He says that no stone was left unturned to save his only daughter Yogita. She was treated for a month in a private hospital in Nagpur. He appealed to people on social media. He sold jewelry, took loans, staked everything, but their happiness was snatched away. The joyful cries of the grandfather’s darling in the house have now fallen silent. The entire family had extended a hand to save their daughter. They endured many difficulties even during treatment in Nagpur. They spent nights by the drain in the basement, only with the hope that their daughter would return home laughing and playing once again, but she arrived confined in a white shroud. She used to be very happy during Diwali. Meanwhile, Jaideep Uike, a resident of Ikalahara, saw the lamp of his house extinguish and is now painting and whitewashing other people’s houses during Diwali to make a living. He said that the darkness of mourning has fallen upon his own home due to the death of his son Divyansh, but to get through this helpless life, he is arranging to bring light to others’ homes this Diwali so that his family can get two meals a day. The fever medicine given to Divyansh turned into poison and snatched away the family’s happiness.
