Today on Eastern Express Highway, we came across this young boy who was a bit delirious and unable to walk properly. His name is Sugrim Mahto and he mentioned that he was duped by a truck driver who was to drop him to his village in Bihar. He then sat along with a group of men who were trying to get on a truck that would take them to Jharkhand. Sugrim was complaining of weakness, breathlessness, fever. Our friend Dipesh Tank first tried sourcing some medicines but all shops nearby were shut.

Medical interns were asked to report for duty at a CCC2 facility on Kalina today. I volunteered to drop one of them who is known to me. She doesnt have a car and wasn’t getting a cab or an auto. First they were asked to come to Prabhat Colony, then to Kolekalyan Police Quarters. Then to Vakola Police Station and finally to H E Ward office. This kind of hopping is not easy even during normal times. Can you imagine how tough it might have gotten for this intern, carrying a month’s worth of luggage, to go from one place to another?
