Indian botched sterilisations kill eight women in Chhattisgarh

Eight women have died after undergoing sterilisation surgery at a health camp organised by the government in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh.

Thirty other women were admitted to hospital and doctors have said several are in a serious condition.

Officials have denied negligence, but villagers allege the surgeries were done hurriedly.
