The party demanded a proper investigation into the death of 10-year-old Fathima Nida Shihabuddin, a native of Alappuzha.
The opposition Congress on Thursday termed as "unfortunate" the death of a cycle polo player from Kerala, who had gone to participate in the National Cycle Polo championship in Nagpur, and accused the Left government of 'negligence' and 'failure' in addressing the issues faced by players from the state.
The party demanded a proper investigation into the death of 10-year-old Fathima Nida Shihabuddin, a native of Alappuzha, at the earliest and sought action against those officials who failed to ensure adequate facilities to the young sports stars.
According to authorities, Fathima collapsed and died at a private hospital in Nagpur this morning.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan condoled the death of the young player.
