Siliguri Municipal Corporation provides hearse van to North Bengal Medical College and Hospital

Siliguri, 03rd June: The Siliguri Municipal Corporation (SMC) has fulfilled its commitment to provide a hearse van to the North Bengal Medical College and Hospital (NBMCH) in light of recent distressing events. Today, Mayor Goutam Deb officially handed over the keys of the vehicle to the officials of NBMCH.


The decision to provide the hearse van comes after news surfaced of a grieving individual who was compelled to transport his deceased child in a bag from NBMCH to his home in Kaliaganj. Allegedly, the vehicles available at the hospital demanded a substantial amount of money, leaving the individual with no alternative but to resort to such measures.

Following this incident, Mayor Goutam Deb had expressed his concern and pledged to provide a hearse van to NBMCH. Today, in line with his promise, the SMC handed over the hearse van to the authorities of NBMCH.
