Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, the secretary of the Meira Paibi Lup, Konsam Mera-jaobi, Pakpi was first rushed to JNIMS .
She was then shifted to Raj Medicity and then to Sky Hospital and RIMS.
She was finally brought to Shija Hospital where the doctors used various facilities including ventilators to save her .
Merajaobi said that it is becoming increasingly difficult to treat the victim, who has since been brought out from Shija's ICU and is being kept at the ward .
She pointed out that the financial assistance provided by the CSOs of the State and the local MLA are not enough to treat the victim and appealed to the State Government to provide financial assistance as the incident falls under natural calamities.
