Imphal, May 22 2022:
Kshetrigao MLA Sheikh Noorul Hassan visited an elderly couple, Thongam Angou and Dasu of Kongpal Kshetri Leikai, who are living in an abject situation, on Sunday and extended financial assistance while also assuring of constructing a new house for them.
The living condition of the family of the couple went viral on social media after a Facebook user posted some photos of the family showing their pathetic condition while drawing attention of the public to help the family.
Both the 84-year man and his 73-year old wife had suffered BP stroke and have been lying in bed since then.
Moreover, their daughter in-law Thongam Eli also developed visual impairment due to diabetes.
The miserable condition of the family compounded as recent incessant rainfall and thunderstorm flooded their house and parts of the roofing blown away.
On seeing the post, the MLA visited the family and extended financial assistance.
He also assured of providing necessary medicines for the ailing members of the family and to construct a new house at the earliest.
Narrating the ordeals of his family, Angou's son Th Premjit thanked the MLA for his assistance.
