The government issued an alert and asked the garba organizers to take all necessary measures, including ensuring that ambulances are available to take people to hospitals if they feel unwell.
Sharing details of the incident, Dr Aayush Patel, MD Medicine, said, “A 17-year-old boy, Veer Shah, was playing Garba at the Garba ground in Kapadvanj when he complained of dizziness and became unresponsive. A team of volunteers at the scene immediately attended to him and performed a cardio-respiratory resuscitation. We monitored his vitals but found no pulse. There was no response and signs of respiration. He was given three cycles of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We shifted him to a hospital by ambulance. However, he was declared dead at the hospital.”
Garba is a form of Gujarati dance, that originated from the state of Gujarat in India. The name is originated from the Sanskrit term Garbha. Many traditional garbas are performed around a centrally lit lamp or a picture or statue of the Goddess Shakti. Gujarati folk dance is celebrated in Navratri, a celebration lasting nine nights. Garba songs typically revolve around the subjects of the nine goddesses. Garba styles vary from place to place in Gujarat.
However, against this backdrop, an ambulance is designed to respond to medical emergencies, as a tool for the Garba celebration in Kolhapur.
