Fish 'prasadam', which is believed to cure asthma, was administered to thousands of patients in Hyderabad, in a bid to cure them of Asthma.
Members of Bathini Goud family administered the fish stuffed with a herbal paste earlier this week — reportedly believed to be a cure for asthma and other breathing ailments. Amid elaborate arrangements made by police and various departments, the distribution of "prasadam” also marked the beginning of Mrigasira Karthi or the onset of monsoon.
Despite it being a subject of controversy, patients descended here in the hope of finding some relief to their nagging respiratory problems through the "miracle drug".
Police set up separate queues for women, physically-challenged and senior citizens to ensure smooth conduct of the annual event. A total of 32 counters were set up. Hundreds of people coming from different states had reached the venue and obtained tokens.
Goud family members claimed that 35,000 people took the fish "prasadam" till earlier this week. They said arrangements to supply one lakh fingerlings were made.
