Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Narendranath Chakraborty, on Wednesday, rushed a woman to the hospital in his car after she fell ill while standing in a queue to attend a ‘Duare Sarkar’ camp in West Burdwan district of West Bengal. The incident occurred at KBT High School in Laudoha Panchayat of Durgapur.
Like others, Rupali Ghatak was standing in a line at the Duare Sarkar camp to get herself registered for state-run schemes. However, she faced breathing problems due to the heavy crowd and fell down.
Chakraborty, the MLA from Pandaveswar constituency was present at the camp. He rushed the woman to the local government hospital for treatment. He had alerted the hospital administration to keep oxygen cylinders ready as soon as he left for the hospital from the camp.
According to media reports, Rupali is currently undergoing treatment there and she is stable. Doctors said that a big danger has been avoided due to timely treatment.
Chakraborty said, “They all are my relatives. I will help people in need. It is my job. Rupali is a heart patient. Rupali was standing in line at the camp and felt difficulty in breathing. I took her to the hospital and doctors are treating her.”
