Rajganj, 04th September: After Siliguri Times covered a piece of news regarding a child’s rare disease, two youths namely Shubhankar Mahato and Loknath Saha, extended their helping hand towards the family and took responsibility of the child’s treatment.
Reportedly, the duo met the family on Friday and brought the ailing baby to Siliguri for treatment.
It is to be noted that the baby girl of Nripen Das, a daily wager and a resident of the Saheb Bari village area under Shikarpur Gram Panchayat of Rajganj, has been suffering from a complex disease since birth.
Reportedly, the baby was born on August 01. However, her spine is twisted and has taken the shape of the English alphabet ‘U’.
Meanwhile, as no treatment is available for the rare disease in North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, the doctors advised treating the child in Kolkata’s private hospital, which requires a minimum of 2 lakh rupees. With a very little source of income, the family is in a helpless situation and therefore, desperately pleaded for help to save their child.
In response to their request, the said youths stepped forward concerning the child’s treatment.
