Breaking News: Junk Food Claims Child’s Life in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh; Doctors Issue Urgent Warning

A heartbreaking incident has emerged from Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh, where doctors have confirmed that the death of a young girl, Aahana, was caused by excessive consumption of junk food sold along the roadside. Medical officials stated that frequent intake of items such as pizza, burgers, chowmein, chips, instant noodles, and packaged snacks led to a severe intestinal complication. According to doctors, Aahana developed a hole in her intestine, which resulted in a dangerous infection spreading rapidly throughout her body. She was rushed for emergency surgery, during which nearly six litres of pus and toxic waste were removed from her abdomen. Doctors also reportedly found remnants of processed and fast food items inside her stomach, indicating prolonged consumption of unhealthy food. Despite all medical efforts, Aahana could not be saved. Her grieving family has now made an emotional appeal to parents across the country, urging them to stop giving junk food to children. “I have lost my child. I request all parents to please protect their children and avoid feeding them fast food,” the father said. Health experts warn that unhygienic roadside food and excessive junk food consumption can cause severe infections and life-threatening conditions in children. The incident has raised serious concerns about food safety, parental awareness, and the easy availability of unhealthy food items, calling for immediate public caution and stricter regulation.
