The Woman, a mother of two girls, said she had undergone the operation at the PHC in 2013. But she got pregnant and delivered a third girl child on May 2 this year. She then underwent another operation at a private hospital.
She claimed she had been affected financially, physically and also psychologically due to the 'negligence' in conducting the operation and sought the compensation.
