Bhubaneswar, Nov 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) Kalia, one of the separated conjoined twins from Odisha's Kandhamal district, died while undergoing treatment at the SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack on Wednesday evening.
"Despite all our efforts, we could not save Kalia, who died due to septicemia at 9.10 p.m.," informed SCB Medical's emergency officer Bhubanananda Maharana.
