In a tragic turn during Navratri celebrations in Gujarat, six individuals, including a Class 12 student, have died of heart attacks while participating in 'garba' dance events. The deaths have raised concerns, with 22 additional heart attack-related fatalities reported in the state. Gujarat's Health Minister has called for research to determine the cause of these incidents, responding to concerns raised by Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel. Despite a popular belief attributing the deaths to COVID-19, research indicates otherwise. The '108' ambulance service received 750 cardiac emergency calls during Navratri, prompting increased scrutiny.
