Imphal, January 19 2023:
Upon learning of the unfortunate death of two elderly persons at Langol Old Age Home due to the cold weather yesterday, MBBS students of RIMS who are members of All Manipur Medical Students Association (AMMSA) have extended a helping hand to the Old Age Home.
The bedroom of the Old Age Home was reportedly exposed to cold winds and this allegedly led to the death of the two senior citizens.
In order to solve this problem, the medical students drummed up funds from their own pockets and procured plastic covers which were then set up in the perimeter of the bedroom to protect the elderly citizens from the chilly winds to an extent.
The AMMSA team also handed over a monetary sum of Rs 7000 to Oinam Mangi, chairman, Langol Old Age Home to aid in the construction of a new building for the Old Age Home.
