Imphal, August 31 2019:
Setting an example of humanitarian act, Health Minister L Jayantakumar has gifted an artificial limb to one Thingom Mahesh (38) of Keishampat Kangabam Leikai under Keishamthong AC who lost his right leg (above knee) in an unfortunate incident.
Speaking at a simple function held at his office chamber at Old Secretariat, yesterday L Jayantakumar said that the artificial limb was provided to Mahesh from the MLA Local Area Development Fund.
Though pain and suffering are also an integral part of human lives, it is of utmost importance that 'we help each other' to grow as a whole, said the Minister who is also MLA of Keishamthong AC.
T Mahesh conveyed that his leg was amputated as per doctor's advice after meeting an accident in October 2005 at Silchar where he went to immerse idol of goddess Durga in river.
He expressed gratitude to the Health Minister for understanding his hardship and providing the artificial limb.
