He is a Man who responds to people. A few days back, PM Sri Narendra Modiji was
in news inaugurating the Adi Yogi statue at Isha Foundation in Coimbatore. He was snapped wearing an exquisite stole
with Shiva’s face printed on it; fascinated by the same, a woman, Shilpi Tewari tweeted about Modi’s stole
saying she wanted it. .. .. and she did receive it complete with the autograph
of the prime minister himself.
Now the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become the saviour of an eight-day-old girl from
Assam when a nail-biting medical rescue drama played out in the national
Capital on Saturday evening. The infant, suffering from a grave medical
condition affecting her lungs, was airlifted from Dibrugarh to Delhi's Gangaram
Hospital for life-saving treatment. Sri Modiji’s intervention in the nick of time ensured a
traffic-free passage for the rescue team who later revealed that the battery to
the child's respiratory machine had just seven minutes left before going flat.
The child's parents say that they owe the life of their daughter
to the Prime Minister and Delhi Police. 'He is our God today,' Dhrubajyoti
Kalita, father of the newborn told Mail
Today. 'We sought help from several influential people, including a top IPS
officer from northeast working with Delhi police. 'Nobody did anything. We did
not know what would happen to our daughter.' For the 8 day old baby, Narendra Modi turned into a guardian angel. Doctors on
Sunday said the baby is out of danger and making good progress. According to the parents, the infant was
initially diagnosed with meconium aspiration syndrome - a rare medical
condition whereby the baby's stool enters its lungs. When the child inhales the
contaminated fluid, it causes respiratory disorders that can become fatal.
To save the child, doctors at Aditya Hospital in Dibrugarh,
arranged an air ambulance which was scheduled to land at Delhi's Indira Gandhi
International airport around 7 pm, a time when traffic on Delhi roads is at its
peak. Delhi Police, Air traffic and other officials coordinated cordially and
ensured safe and timely passage for the child.
Kalita Dhrubajyoti works in Bhramaputra Cracker and Polymer, a Central
government enterprise in Dibrugarh. The
mother of the infant, Himakshi Saharia is a primary school teacher.
I had earlier posted on
the harrowing experience of the parents of AP Hithendran – trying to link to
‘Traffic’ - a 2011 Malayalam thriller film based on a real-life
happening in Chennai……. Chennaiyil Oru Naal (English: A day in Chennai) was a remake of Traffic in a hyperlink format ~ a thriller that
intertwines multiple stories around one particular incident, inspired from an
actual event that happened in Chennai. It centered around the tragic
accidental death of a youth, who is brain dead. The parents at the time
of extreme sorrow decide to take him off the ventilator and donate their son's
heart ~ but the recipient is far away in Vellore….. how it gets transported the
150 odd kilometers in a short time forms the theme.
Miracles do happen ! ~
and great humans make them happen !!
