Kolkata, June 8 Administrative indifference in Howrah allegedly led to the death of 56-year-old Rebati Bhattacharya, who collapsed on the roadside at Shibpur on Saturday evening. He lay in an unconscious state for nearly an hour before police reached the spot.

Bhattacharya, a resident of Thanamakua, had recently opted for voluntary retirement from his Garden Reach Ship Builders job due to poor health, the police said. He had gone to the local market to purchase medicines, when he fell unconscious near the Botanical Gardens. He was taken to a local hospital where he was declared dead on arrival.

In a similar incident on April 30 April, 75-year-old Kadam Prasad Pan had lost his life due to delay in receiving help. Pan, a Nepali watchman at the Vidyasagar Institute, after alighting from a bus at the Haldapara crossing in Shibpur, realised that he forgot his bag in the bus. He chased the bus, but soon fell unconscious and later died.
