THENI: The death of a three-month-old baby girl caused tension at Unjampatti near here on Friday.

The baby was admitted to the Periakulam Government Hospital for pneumonia treatment on Wednesday and died on Thursday.

According to sources, the baby’s parents Iyyappan and Adhi Lakshmi took the child to the primary health centre at Veerapandi and administered DPT injection on September 30 as per the direction of the village health nurse.
