No one had ever imagined that Ratlam-based Hussain Indori and Fatima Indori’s eight years old son Abdul Qadir will meet with such an accident. Abdul Qadir who had come to his relatives in Mulla Colony here in May 2014 lost both his hands when he accidentally touched high-tension wire. The incident was a setback for his family.
The family took the boy to Mumbai for treatment for 2-3 months. At last, doctors decided to amputate both gangrene-hit hands to save the boy’s life. This put the family in a quandary about future life and education of Abdul Qadir. Expenditure of affixing artificial hands is between Rs12 lakh to Rs15 lakh. Madhya Pradesh Government has assumed responsibility of Adbul Qadir’s complete treatment. Following this, Abdul Qadir will not only be able to study further, but also lead normal life.
Hussain Indori and Fatima Indori gave an account of the boy’s difficulties during Chief Secretary Anthony DeSa’s weekly meeting with people and urged him to provide government assistance for affixing artificial hands. The Chief Secretary immediately directed Principal Secretary Health Praveer Krishna to sanction financial assistance for affixing artificial hands in best institution of the country.
Formalities in the case began today itself. As per wish of applicant family, Abdul Qadir is being sent to a New Delhi hospital for getting artificial hand affixed. Abdul Qadir also accompanied his parents to Mantralaya. The class II student informed that he is keenly interested in studies for which he is ready to write with legs since he has lost his hands. This greatly moved the Chief Secretary. Abdul Qadir also displayed skill of writing with legs learnt by him in recent months.
