Anganwadi Cook Dies Saving Children from Bee Attack in MP’s Neemuch


Neemuch (Madhya Pradesh): In a tragic incident in Ranpur village of Neemuch district, an Anganwadi cook lost her life after saving around 20 children from a bee attack at the Madawada Panchayat Anganwadi centre.


The deceased has been identified as Kanchan Bai Meghwal. According to locals, the children were playing on the Anganwadi premises when a swarm of bees suddenly attacked. Kanchan Bai immediately rushed to their rescue, using tarpaulins and mats to cover the children and shielding them with her own body as she moved them inside the centre.


While the children escaped unharmed, hundreds of bees stung Kanchan Bai, including on her face and mouth. She collapsed at the spot. Constable Kalunath and pilot Rajesh Rathod rushed her to a community health centre, where doctors declared her dead on arrival due to multiple bee stings.


Kanchan Bai was the sole breadwinner of her family and also served as president of the Jai Mata Di Self-Help Group. Her husband Shivalal is paralysed following a stroke. She is survived by one son and two daughters.


After postmortem, her body was brought back to Ranpur village on Tuesday, where villagers paid tribute in silence.


Residents remain fearful as a large beehive still hangs near the Anganwadi centre, close to the village’s only hand pump. Villagers have demanded immediate removal of the beehive and financial assistance for Kanchan Bai’s family.
