Her health condition has deteriorated and doctors from a local hospital and the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, have suggested shifting the 15-year-old to a hospital soon. Avishna has been on fast at her home at Valayam, Kozhikode, since Thursday. However, doctors started an intravenous drip to give fluids through her veins from Friday. However, the district administration has warned against such a step as the incident will further complicate the issue. Expressing solidarity with her, a group of relatives, including women, are on fast.
