Thokala Gangamma was immediately shifted to a hospital.
In a tragic incident, a 78-year-old woman died after she reportedly suffered epileptic seizures at a polling booth in Adilabad district on Thursday afternoon.
The deceased was identified as Thokala Gangamma of Mavala village.
Sources said that she experienced a seizure attack after casting her vote at the local polling booth.
The elderly woman was immediately shifted to a hospital where she was declared brought dead.
While residents are worried over deaths due to diarrhoea in Vijayawada, officials still grapple to find the root cause. Contaminated drinking water supplied by VMC officials is the reason, insist people in the affected areas, but officials insist that efforts are on to identify the disease and that those with symptoms other than diarrhoea too are visiting the health camps.
